The company is decent, but the managers are the worst. I completely regret pursuing an opportunity in BNYM. - Group Manager BNY Employee Review

Pros

The company provides decent support for those they laid off due to downsizing. There was a decent amount of sub pay and support provided for 3 months with Lee Heck Harrison. There are decent people there in the company that work their respective bums off.

Cons

No work-life balance - You get pulled in when Europe and Asia users are having problems even if you've worked more than 24 hours already. Line of business managers were awful - no respect for IT folks. IT managers wouldn't respond back when we've been asking for more assistance for months. Promises were made to provide people for the new group but that fell to the ground - thereby setting our group up for failure from the start. The company is managed through fear. Employees are all fearful that they will be the next ones laid off.

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.
