So BNYM won’t put reqs in domestic locations so we have the bodies and support needed but magically found funds to put 45 temps in India. These f—s can’t figure out how to reset a damn password but they’re being put in positions overseeing system enhancements they know absolutely nothing about and we’re forced to keep giving them work to fill FTEs. Our employees won’t have sh– left to do when theyre done

Isn't it curious that two of the top stockholders at BNY Mellon, SsGA, and Berkshire Hathaway are potentially competition driving BNY Mellon to ruin? It doesn't even seem reasonable that this is legal.
You should try dealing with them on trades the are dumber that a door knob.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with my coworkers from India. They are good workers. Seems that there is a need for the US side to step up their game. It’s not always the cost savings. Sometimes it’s the quality of work. This is my opinion.
This American programmer that sat next to me told a story about an off-shore tester asking how to test something in his system and he replied that "I would do this and that and such and such". A few weeks passed and the off-shore tested reached out and asked if he had a chance to do it yet :/. Not sure if he sent a gentle reminder to do the needful....
BNY OPS, now they called it DevOps is a big Joke! None of them know what they are doing. When the management is weak and doesn’t know the best, they keep the worst! GO BNY GO... keep those dumb dumb, these dumb knows how to build the network and survive. Go get a technical interview, everyone will fail. PNC and BNY are the easiest company to get a job. After getting the job these folks have no skills and behave like they are the best people on the planet and act like know everything, perfectly goes well with none technical management. LOB leaders who got promotion in 2019 are responsible for laying off US CITIZENS and work to India and bring L1 to the US.
We need some young blood in senior management. In one breath they move everything off shore and another they talk about resiliency and how we can easily support the business if one location has a hurricane, terrorist attack, or spike in an epidemic. Then Mike Keslar and his ilk talk about co-locating so employees can collaborate like it's 1999.
Then they waste all our time giving lip service to their diversity goals. Pretty soon 75% of our workforce will have black hair and brown eyes. But reverse discrimination is ok. And let's not forget that they aren't particularly kind to women and g–s...
My team just got authorization for 5 additional resources in India but we are a team of 5.I am getting concerned. Have others seen the same in the past?
As a former employee impacted by the cyclical Layoff process at BNYM, the employees in India are very good at their jobs and are selfless with their time and dedication and are some of the kindest people I have worked with. Of course this is my subjective experience. Sorry if you had a negative experience with your offshore colleague interactions.
@1awy+192gFB5Q, I cannot understand anything you were trying to say in your attempt to insult the poster of this thread. So because someone gives their opinion, which i don’t disagree with by the way, they must be racist? Cmon now, nobody is saying folks in India aren’t nice . Just clear observation... they’re pretty incompetent .
do the needful
Yeah low cost and low quality to go with it. This company is turning into a joke. I think they need to rethink their strategy in cost savings. Maybe they should try to gain business and they would have to screw everyone out of a positing. No wonder all the CEOs keep jumping ship. They know what is coming eventually
I've worked with a few great programmers based in India, but as soon as they've put in a couple of years at BNY, they leave and go elsewhere. The ones that are left behind? Pretty hopeless, as far as doing anything on our system goes. So bad that they're no longer allowed work on anything but minor changes.
I don't think staff in India are unpleasant to work for, but I am annoyed at the vast time difference. If I'm working on a U.S. product or report then I shouldn't have to tiptoes around Indian staff sleep schedules.
There are a few offshore employees who are ok but for the most part they just follow directions and are totally lost if there is any variance. They used to be really bad when we used the company that Suresh ran. Was it Wipro or something like that?
We shipped some of our processors over there and they kept contacting the application team complaining about the system performance when it was actually everything on their LAN that was slow. And guess it took them forever to get that straightened out because, you guessed it, their LAN support was based in India.
Not to mention very few of them had internet at home and were always sick because of unsanitary conditions.
center of excellence aka low cost location
