Pros

Not sure if there are any. Just your average employer. Nothing to write home about.

Cons

The last couple of years very unstable. Lots of changes, everyone new pulling in their own direction. Individual lines of business caring about their business only, not BNYM overall. Technology is from decades ago and there is no real plan to change this.

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.
