Pros

They does a lot for physically challenged people. Transport system is very good.

Cons

To understand BNY Mellon better you need to understand what is expected of you, in India you are like a slave who is expected to do everything that your manager tells you to. You are asked to not use brains while working. So then what keeps BNY Mellon going? Well, buttering bosses...People refer to their managers as sir and boss. Recently they are facing a big crisis as to why women are leaving let me tell you, if you are not in BNY you don't know what sex discrimination at workplace is. Women are discouraged, harassed and when nothing else works, simply asked to leave. It's a place of all gossip no work and that's the culture. It's a responsibility but no accountability workspace. And for those who consider it a brand have definitively not worked at a better organisation and neither capable. The oldies here have been working on years at end. They have no skills, no educational qualifications, no sense of professionalism, and no ethical standards. The crowd in Chennai is a bunch of (like someone else's review) "lungi-wearing monkeys" who beat all levels of crass and idiotic behaviour. Some even come to office in sandals. At BNY your colleagues are cheats, criminals or psychos. BNY Mellon for all that legacy is an utter disappointment. It's racist, sexist, communal and ancient. One will learn nothing in terms of work. Not recommended for any women looking at a career switch at a good position.

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.
