Pros

pto, bank holidays, sick time separate from pto, gain 1 week of pto after 3 years, good location, free vested pension, good benefit plans.

Cons

no career advancement or professional development. full of useless people where 75% of department is wasteful personnel that are unhireable outside of bnym, probably the reason why there are so many old people there. too many middle managers. merit raises for the people that work hard is $1000 annual. thanks for the extra $.20 per pay that won't even buy me food from mcdonalds. bonuses are only for managers that take credit for the work of the people that are doing the work for them and struggling financially.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
