BNY reviews

My team has a toxic culture I wish I had never worked with these people. I blame the toxic culture on the middle management that is incapable, high-ego, and unfair. — There’s no meritocracy. Managers keep incapable people in the team and capable people have to go out of their way to help them and receive no credit for that. — Managers favor yes-man rather than the ones who tell the truth. They worry more about subordinates following their orders than them solving real problems. — I have been humiliated by my boss in public and treated in an unfriendly way by my colleagues many times. Managers are insensitive to the feelings of their subordinates. — Because of the toxic culture, conflicts between team members happen all the time and they ended up having to be arbitrated by the manager, who doesn’t have a good sense of fairness. — My team is overstaffed. I burnt out a lot of my energy dealing with politics rather than solving real problems.

Do not believe the "advertised" company core values. Staff do not have the freedom to speak-up. There is so much change and aggressive financial targets, people no longer matter go senior leadership, just hitting the #s. Headcount is cut before tech automation delivery, those left behind have to work unsustainable long hours and no longer have work-life balance. Turnover is at an all-time high and burnout is at an alarming level. Internal promotions are only possible one-time a year. You can get the higher job and responsibilities, just not the appropriate pay. Operations staff do not have the same flexible work arrangements to WFH as the tech staff do. Company is being led by tech staff who do not understand operations. While wellbeing and learning/development resources are available, staff do not use them because there is no time permitted. BNYM was at one time a great company to work for. I no longer recommend the place for employment.
