Pros

Wonderful people to work with, great deal of talent. Good life/work balance programs, flex time. Great opportunity to merge two companies/product sets.

Cons

Surprising that so many of the legacy Bank of New York employees are so negative towards the legacy Mellon employees, especially those who have been there for a long time. "Lifers" have a lot of talent and dedication to bring to the company and not all are complacent. It seems that from many of the New York comments, they seem to be less willing to work as a team with the legacy Mellon employees. The legacy Mellon employees are making an effort to work with the New York employees as a team.

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.
