Sc--w the shareholders

We are so understaffed it’s not funny anymore. We have a total of 3 people on our team doing the job of 2 teams and we cannot keep up. God forbid anyone calls in sick or else we are at fault whenever we are short 5 people and doing more than just our... — read more 

The real issue…well one of the major ones

The Firm has laced off anyone who challenges what’s going on. In Pershing, Investments/Wealth and AS, its become a don’t dare challenge the norms mentality or you will be cut. The Leadership is lacking in knowledge and foresight. As a result, people... — read more 

Weak and Confused Product Practice

I haven’t seen anything meaningful from the Product practice leadership. Product managers are deer in headlights and clearly have little to no understanding of their products, lack business knowledge to deliver product roadmaps and requirements. With... — read more 

Confused Agile Practice

I haven’t seen anything meaningful come out of the leadership in the Agile practice. It’s surprising no one can notice that the so called coaches and scrum lead managers are a bunch of nobodys adding absolutely no value at all other than theoretical... — read more 

Severance/ packages at lay offs

For anyone recently laid off, could you comment if you received a package and terms of any severance. As a remote employee, I know I’ll be cut soon enough with RTO.

The emperor has no clothes

We all see the process failures, talent leaving (some after just months) while they push AI with no real clear picture of how this will help us. The mood on the campus is absolutely only toxicity and dysfunction. Wake up, this is going to get so... — read more 

Still…?

I just took a look at this blog after some years of… not. I resigned seven years ago, after years of layoffs and many of the same complaints that I read here. If this was so obvious that long ago, my question is… why are you still here? That is... — read more

Why are people only posting about the toxicity at BNY on this site anonymously ? Why can't people write reality about this company on LinkedIn openly ? I understand people are afraid of running into problems finding next opportunities. But Hey !... — read more 

Laid off but still have my laptop

Anyone else get laid off but the bank never sent for your laptop? It's been many months. I know they have NAC enabled but has anyone just kept them and reformatted?

Mental health

Random question. For all the miserable people here on this page, and I admit, I am one of them. Does anyone actually take advantage of the mental health benefits offered here or is that more gobbley go-k spewed by the uppers to pretend like they... — read more

The Turk Making Rounds This Week

The culture there is abysmal. The different groups are running into each other in their lower environments. Each group pounds their chest with each release. Yet each release is a disaster. Eliza, wile internal only, is a joke compared to the more... — read more 

Eliza not working

Is it just me or does Eliza just not work? Type any questions or prompts in and you just get 'loading response' indefinitely. Surely BNY hasn't put all its hopes on an AI that doesn't work, or that they don't be have the server space for?

BNY runs on pretend productivity

Managers don’t track actual work, just the appearance of being busy. After years of going above and beyond for zero payoff, I’ve stopped playing that game. Now I collect the same paycheck for a fraction of the effort. Funny how no one’s noticed the... — read more
