Pros

Bank of New York Mellon has decent benefits and a good name. The location is very good and there are some really good people who work there.

Cons

The system is really disorganized and there are lots of inefficiencies. There is a lot of BS and not a lot of transparency. For instance, they were saying that we were doing really well financially compared with the other banks, then the next week, people were getting laid off.

Pros

People are nice and management is very flexible regarding the time off. Supervisors and units managers often recognize when you are doing a good job.

Cons

There is not much room for growth and salaries are not very competitive. It seems that there is only vertical growth and it takes a long time to move up.

Very hard working and dedicated employees Able to retain great employees Challenging work in a fast paced environment Work hard/play hard environment Opportunities for those who want it Ability to change jobs within the company Excellent family/work balance Run by "real" people No suits and ties need apply

Cons

Improvement on knowledge transfer needed Tendency to have a single "go to" person for various areas of the product Integration between systems for bug tracking, client issue tracking, project analysis could be greatly improved More focus on helping employees map career paths More focus on performance reviews
