Pros

Name Recognition. Sounds great on paper "BNY". They have successfully interjected themselves into the global conversation.

Cons

Every code deployment is a giant CF. Own worst enemy. Salary sucks. Projects are all over the place, and there is no real direction. Off-shore (India) can do no wrong. USA employees are left twisting in the wind. If you are lucky enough to be in a office where you actually have team members with you, it can be somewhat of a positive experience.

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.
