Others may disagree, but my overall impression of BNY Mellon is that it’s all about whom you know here. Connections are more important than skills. Competency is simply not valued enough and it seems to be becoming less and less important. .. —  read more 

I wonder why grade levels have been removed from postings and search criteria? Why bother posting if you don't have a general idea of salary? Are they retooling grades again? Why are all of my job "matches" irrelevant to my skills and experience?... —  read more 

I recently read an article that defines a company under bad leadership as that with non-existent results, low morale, interoffice politics, divided team, constant attrition, and the use of fear-based tactics to manage. I missed a few points but... —  read more 

Is bank about to sell its Corporate Trust business in Europe? Surely if this happens, resources will be free to help other areas. Or perhaps mass cuts?

Not looking to debate. Just curious when the unvaxxed will have their employment terminated. Any intel?

I know every department is different but probably a dozen people in my area have given their notice in the last 3/4 weeks (including a lot of experience/knowledge) and not a single person was offered a salary match to stay. Pretty much thanks for... —  read more 

I have to say the bagels in the CSC location were exceptional. Does anyone know where those bagels were sourced? They were the best thing about working at BNY Mellon.

After a week away from this place, I feel like a new man. Nothing has changed within the company, but being away from all the toxicity and politics did wonders for me and my mental health. I'm not sure how long it will take for this feeling to fade... —  read more

It's amazing how so many good people have been let go and poor managers continue to survive. As someone else pointed out, these managers are weak. They are afraid. They are "yes" people. Until BNYM hires real LEADERS, it will never be a top... —  read more 

You all do realize that when they terminate the unvaxxed people there is no sub pay or unemployment right? Make sure you have enough money set aside to hold you over until you find a new job. Stay strong and don’t cave in to the tyranny! For the... —  read more

It’s a strong job market. BNY finds itself with a valued-employee retention problem.

I joined BNY Mellon a year ago and it's nothing like I expected it to be. Minimal training, too high expectations, and lack of direction in my team are just a few things that stand out in my first 12 months here. I'd be looking forward to being laid... —  read more

So I just got a letter today that my health insurance ended 9/30 and my COBRA coverage begin date was 10/1, but that I have until 12/5 to enroll. So did it actually begin 10/1? What insurance do I have while it processes?

Nothing further has been said about the date the unvaxxed will be fired. Everyday is a waiting game waiting for the call. I wonder what percent of BNY is vaccinated vs unvaccinated. How many people will be fired? It will work out good for the bank... —  read more
