Friendly and competitive work environment. Very much a "boys club". No girls allowed! - Senior Compensation Analyst BNY Employee Review

Pros

Very competitive and keeps you on your toes. The people are friendly and management usually looks out for their employees. They pay well and the offices are clean and modern.

Cons

As a female, good luck getting ahead! This is very much a "boys club" type of bank. Men will get promoted faster and women in leadership/management positions will be seen as "too expensive" or "not good enough" and let go. Even female management will halt promotion efforts of other females. It's a very strange environment.

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.
