Pros

Wonderful people to work with, great deal of talent. Good life/work balance programs, flex time. Great opportunity to merge two companies/product sets.

Cons

Surprising that so many of the legacy Bank of New York employees are so negative towards the legacy Mellon employees, especially those who have been there for a long time. "Lifers" have a lot of talent and dedication to bring to the company and not all are complacent. It seems that from many of the New York comments, they seem to be less willing to work as a team with the legacy Mellon employees. The legacy Mellon employees are making an effort to work with the New York employees as a team.

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.
