Pros

its steady work, 401k match is good, some very nice bright engineers there (but not the ones making business decisions.)

Cons

BNYM TSG has transitioned into a sweat shop run by dictators that are culling favors rather than making sound technical and business decisions. Our management chain was led by a seasoned political pointy-haired micromanager that did not believe in his people and only worked for the betterment of his career and that of his devotes. His ability to dress people down publicly was surpassed only by his ability to surround himself with yes-men that told him whatever he wanted to hear and jumped each time he asked. His leadership is unsound, his values are judgmental and petty. His personality reminded me of a bug-eyed Mexican Chihuahua dog that is nervous, shaking, untrusting, vicious and barks when anyone approaches or makes eye contact. His leadership style promotes the worst in people and his inability to trust anyone makes him a poor leader that relishes in petty conflicts and divides different work groups by pitting them against each other. Used to be a great place to work but I would not recommend it now to anyone.
