Pros

Good work like balance here.

Cons

I am a U.S. citizen and I worked at BNY Mellon and for few years as full-time employee. I was promoted and given an award. I was laid off recently while an H1-B contractor doing similar work was not let go. And this contractor already had several complains for sleeping on his desk regularly and snoring.

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.
