Pros

Very friendly atmosphere and all senior and junior permanent staff are kind and helpful. Hardly signs of office hierarchy and all staff are well integrated across all teams, with only very minor office politics. The Blackfriars office is right next to the tube/train, very convenient commutes. Interns are given prioritised opportunity to apply for the grad scheme which is amazing.

Cons

Can't say much about its cons other than intern salary is around the bare minimum for a finance internship in the City. The salary is still reasonable in absolute terms but far from comparable to what some of BNY's competitors are offering.

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.
