Pros

I remember BNY as being a really great place to work. I personally didn't like the job but that's mainly just because I'm not into finance! But as an employee you have everything to wish for, great teammates, great company culture, they do everything to make you feel comfortable!

Cons

A bit too strict at times of stress (oh yeah there's a lot of stress!). If you're not that much into business or finance this is not the place where you have to be. Creativity here is not of much value, follow the guidelines only!

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
