Pros

Access to lots of learning + experience of large codebase

Cons

Where do I start? Toxic environment for a graduate, minimal support, everyone is too busy/ looking out for themselves to give proper training to grads. Speed is prioritised over understanding and learning which was horrible as a grad- especially when the programme stated no prior experience required. Lots of micromanagement and very rigid + overly long processes required for simple code changes. There is also sexist managers and lots of ageism/ they only listen if you have a higher title than them. I would avoid BNY at all costs.
