Pros

The benefits package is good, the vacation time is generous.

Cons

Mi-level management in out of touch and unwilling to educate them selves on the old Mellon system when necessary. Mid level managment is extreamly Bank of New York oriented, dimissive of old Mellon inployees and often degrading. Much of the work is being moved to India. There is little to no communication about a direction the department is going, and the new new over all head is in another country. Mellon was a good place to work for, however now that the Bank of New York has taken over, that is not longer the case.

Pros

Some of the internal platforms have dev teams that would rival any other tech company. Can learn a lot if you end up on one of those teams.

Cons

Completely crap shoot as to if you land on a good team or a completely incompetent one. If you're on a bad one good luck. On a bad team you can expect vague work requirements and huge work loads with unmanageable delivery timelines. Also they're outsourcing to India heavily. Also also, most senior management is completely out of touch with reality and don't understand the tech stack they own (more you interact with them the more frighteningly obvious it becomes). HR is completely incompetent, of course, it's an open secret at the bank.
