Pros

Bank of New York Mellon is a recognized company, where it can help me when I begin to job search after my first year of experience after graduating from my ungrad.

Cons

Underpaid. Talking to other recruiter, base pay is at least $10,000 off, which is quite a large amount to underpay employees. Lack of training for some new employees, and when new employees do not understand the job, it is a very hard process to get rid of them.

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.
