Is there any clear breakdown of what each role in P-M is supposed to do? Seems like some folks with the Solution Architect title are trying to run the whole show at Pershing. What’s the deal with the Engineers Head and Group Engineers then?

Seems to me the 2-week recharge is code for polish your resume because you'll need to use it soon. BNY has a great record for hiring good talent and then ushering them out the door. The good news is, it will add years to your life for those that are... — read more

They say before a big layoff there is a list… is your manager told ahead of time? Maybe it depends on the level, but when they say they don’t know anything are they telling the truth?

We are a sweat shop. Turnover is insane. Everyone who knows anything is being pushed out the door, because knowledge is costly. We work like drones, while half of the time is being spent on procedures, forms and meetings about nothing. Managers are... — read more 

Mine was so off that I’m sure I’m on some ‘to be booted’ list. I’m not saying I’m the employee of the month, but I’m definitely not as bad as the review indicates. I guess any excuse is a good excuse to push people out. — read more 

Bny senior mgmt always looking for opportunities to fire people without severance. Very evil people. No wonder the CEO needs to have a bodyguard everywhere he goes. Lots of lawsuits! Do not join this firm.

Does anyone know when employees will be notified of promotions?

I’m wondering how next year will play out. Should we brace for layoffs in the first quarter, or will we get a brief reprieve before they start cutting people again? It’s sad that the question has shifted from "Will there be layoffs?" to "When will... — read more

Does anyone know if the raise/bonus pools are up,down or the same?

Give it to me straight - how likely is it that I’m getting laid off if I just got a partial YE review ?

If you came here looking for good pay, career opportunities, and reasonable hours, you’re in for a disappointment. If you have hopes or expectations, they’ll just squeeze the last drop of energy you have and then unceremoniously kick you to the curb... — read more 

Why are year end reviews being delayed until January for Pershing. Is this related to the p-m strategy and expected layoffs

Hello, does anyone have the salary bands for J and K in Manchester, UK. On only £41500, was wondering if right at the bottom of the band.

Has anyone accepted a counteroffer to your resignation from BNY with any of the promises coming to fruition?

Another FYI with expectations on P*M updates but nothing new. Same slide and one with a few names / pics. One interesting point in a timeline slide - there is some "HR work" happening in Feb. Sounds familiar? Is to be interpreted as a month for RIF?... — read more 

Little by little, our dept has been moving more and more to India while issues persist and clients complain. Do they not care anymore to have clients as long as sub par wor is done offshore?

I came across a job posted yesterday by my manager for my exact role in a “strategic” location. This also happened earlier in the year with a previous manager and it ended up not being an issue (they backfilled for someone who left but it was at a... — read more 

It seems as though the forced ranking bs is happening here too. You guys sound almost as misrable as everyone on the WF page. Sounds like executive group-think has made banking miserable in general and we may all need to think about finding a new... — read more

Is BNY Pershing returning back to office full time next year? I know JPM is, starting in February. I do not work for either firm but may be looking to make a move next year, so I am curious if it’s been announced yet at BNY Pershing.

Understand the Wexford office has been sold!!

When they say your role is eliminated, we know it not really true. In a team with multiple associates have same roles and responsibilities, how did they pick person x vs person y? My manager has a theory. They think someone with a higher demand... — read more 

Oriskany offices were closed in December 2023. Oriskany has been taking heavy hits in each layoff round since then. Which office site is next?

Like everything else. When you find yourself on a chopping block, it’s never because you didn’t work hard, or didn’t have good results, or were lacking skills and expertise. It’s because you lost in a numbers game. So don’t worry about whether you... — read more

I noticed no one commented about the data center being sold/closed. An article about that was in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on Wednesday.

I noticed many answers on this forum make fun of its graduates. Why? I confess, I did not graduate from any school in US, I’ve done my studies in Europe.
