Pros

Was a good company to work for prior to the Mellon merger. Good benefits Nice people

Cons

You are expected to be available 24/7, with constant overtime due to poor project planning and ridiculous deadlines. Not a place to work if you plan on having a personal life. Besides which, there are never ending layoffs with the overall goal of closing down the NY and Boston locations. Good opportunities if you'd like to move to India.

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.
