Pros – Highly educated employees with tons of knowledge and a lot to learn from. Compensation is always a plus and on the typical standard for investment banking.

Cons – Lack of structure in the summer program. Not many other cons, however more rotation with the trading floors or other departments would also be beneficial for continuing the learning experience.

Current Employee – been working at Bank of New York Mellon

Pros – The managers give excellent praise when you've done a job well done. It is an exciting company to work for and I've fully enjoyed my internship with them.

Cons – It's an hour commute for me, but that's not really something that is a fault of the companies. I think the only downfall is that they don't give you a paid lunch (at least as an intern).

Advice to Senior Management – I think that they are doing an excellent job. One of the first banks to repay TARP funds and they performed well under their "stress tests"
