          Great work life balance. Co workers are great.

          Cons

          No chance for lateral movement. Pay is horrific. 1 percent raises year over year. No bonus.

          Advice to Management

          Why bother. They don’t listen. I always stepped up in my group. Whether it be testing on the weekends, ad hoc client work that required some late nights and weekends, training Pune teams for long excruciating hours. I could go on and on for all the things I stepped up for. Wanted to make a name for myself and show my worth. What have I gotten for it? 1% raise year over year. This place gives you no reason to go above...

          Pros

          Work/life balance, remote working arrangements, mid-level management, and good people. Benefits and vacation make up for lower pay structure.

          Cons

          NY is valued more than other cities. Most opportunity is in NY. Displacements happen a lot. Unclear direction from CEO. Constant upper management turnover. Not much in-house promotion. Morale is at an all time low.

          Advice to Management

          Invest in people. We hear constant discussion that investment is going into tech, but the people have been forgotten. Displacements are too frequent. Employee engagement survey shy’d away from the true questions to gauge employee satisfaction.

          I worked at BNY Mellon full-time for more than 3 years

          Pros

          The company provides decent support for those they laid off due to downsizing. There was a decent amount of sub pay and support provided for 3 months with Lee Heck Harrison. There are decent people there in the company that work their respective bums off.

          Cons

          No work-life balance - You get pulled in when Europe and Asia users are having problems even if you've worked more than 24 hours already. Line of business managers were awful - no respect for IT folks. IT managers wouldn't respond back when we've been asking for more assistance for months. Promises were made to provide people for the new group but that fell to the ground -...

          Advice to Management

          If you take care of your folks, they will take care of you and more. We understand that the company operates worldwide, but that doesn't mean that you take advantage of folks and their willingness to help by overworking them and not providing them the proper support and compensation.
