      Standard bank perks, decent offices in Canary Wharf

      Cons

      Although WFH has been reinstated since it made the Press, there is still a review to take place in 2019, who knows what the outcome of that will be... maybe no WFH again...

      Advice to Management

      Look after your staff and give them opportunities to grow

      Pros

      Well compensated with great peers

      Cons

      CEO is effectively Marissa Mayer

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your employees and act on what they say, especially the ones who have been around longer than the CEO. I have never heard of any senior manager so thoroughly derided as Charles Scharf, the contempt he shows his staff is returned in spades. With c-suite and directors jumping ship, and only the cynical lifers having the push to stay, he will manage out the rising stars who were bringing out great change.

      I worked at BNY Mellon full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      I have worked for BNY Mellon - Pershing for nearly a year. The overall environment was quiet featuring no stress or pressure from superiors, no tight deadlines or whatsoever. The team was great and helpful.

      Cons

      An employee is just a number there. The overall turnover for the time I spent there was around 30% - 40%. In my humble opinion, this is due to the poor rate of wage (compared to industry) and the lack of opportunity to grow. Most of my colleagues have been working there for five-plus years in the same positions without any hint of being promoted in the foreseeable future. The work-life balance is designed well for some people where the job role allows working from home one day a week. This wasn't in my case though.

      Advice to Management

      Stop seeing people as numbers and try to understand their needs.

      I worked at BNY Mellon full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      The staff generally work hard in very trying and difficult conditions.

      I would have previously said work life balance not not any longer

      Cons

      Management are all about themselves and not the greater good of the organisation. As for the new CEO , hes unbelievable. I've never known anyone to get so much wrong all of the time. He two best to date have to be stopping UK staff from having flexible working from home arrangements even when contractually agreed and then having to back track 3 days later, or not understanding why a so called client focused organisation cannot just speak to clients on the phone (i.e call-centre) as he sees no value in face to face meetings!

      Advice to Management

      Listen to staff and treat them better they are your assets. Also get rid of the CEO as he's killing the organisation
