Pros

Not much anymore. Co-workers are nice, but all are jaded at this point. Vacation and benefits are still decent.

Cons

The company is all about pleasing Wall St. and the board these days. Cost cutting measures, sending jobs overseas, and reducing US headcount is all taking its toll. Every employee knows that they are not a valued member of a team any longer, but just a 'cost' figure on some executive's balance sheet...and the company is doing nothing to hide it anymore. Oh, and just like always, the company does not care if you spend 3 minutes or 3 decades with them, as they have zero focus on 'careers' at the company. Most of the long-term people have either left or been laid off. Some mid-tier managers/VPs are working on their gold watches (note: they don't get gold watches), but only because they can hide (or become yes-people and micro-managing parrots) and literally float to retirement. But all the young talent is leaving, no one wants to stay because working for BNYM these days literally sucks.
