Pros

Bank of New York Mellon is a recognized company, where it can help me when I begin to job search after my first year of experience after graduating from my ungrad.

Cons

Underpaid. Talking to other recruiter, base pay is at least $10,000 off, which is quite a large amount to underpay employees. Lack of training for some new employees, and when new employees do not understand the job, it is a very hard process to get rid of them.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
