BNY reviews

Complete lack of innovation - leads to inflexibility and inefficiency. Excessive layers of middle management means that incorrect or ineffective decisions are taken, combined with a lack of responsibility. Managers often lack sufficient knowledge to do their job. No clear direction on where the company is headed. Career advancement is challenging even though staff turnover is worryingly high.

Except for the slim payslip, thanks God I still have one in these hard times, I am still looking for a good reason to work for BNY Mellon. The Bank is organized as a data plant, there ia an extreme appointment of jobs like in the Ford factories in the first decades of XX century, as a consequence the daily tasks assigned to one employee are limited and of course repetitive till the vomit. The organization is extremely hierarchized, market specialist are controlled by controllers, controllers by the team leaders, the team leaders by Team Managers of firts level who are controlled by Managers of second level which are controlled by the Department Manager. The atmosphere is apparently informal and young but in the end is very very very traditional: your Boss is your Boss and you have to bells him beacuse you have a job.
