BNY cares about their employees even at the most junior level.
What I wish was different
The recruiting process was remote so there were inherent logistical flaws.
Advice
BNY loves their people. If you want to feel valued, this is the place to be.

Good team, friendly manager and coworkers, meaningful project and I learned a good amount.
What I wish was different
Could have been challenged more, lots of red tape and sometimes less communication with my manager than I would have liked (as he was very busy).

Summer Analyst
June - August 2020 • New York City, NY
What I liked
The experience was very informative and helpful for me in my personal career growth.
What I wish was different
I wish the internship was not remote and to experience the internship in person. However, BNY Mellon did a phenomenal job making the other interns feel welcome and creating a great summer program.
Advice
Put yourself out there as much as possible and say yes to everything. The more exposure and people you can meet the better you will be when the firm is looking to extend return offers.

Data Analyst Intern
June - August 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
The work atmosphere was amazing and they gave me meaningful work that actually applied to things that were going on in the company. Through the internship program I got to hear and sit-in on meetings and presentation with company leaders from all over the world and to hear their unique perspectives on what they've learned throughout the years.
What I wish was different
While my work was meaningful, it did't directly apply to what I was looking to do as a data analyst and mainframe programmer.
Advice
Talk to as many people as you can! BNY Mellon does an excellent job of opening multiple doors to help you meet and network with people from all over the company.

Ask every possible question you can think of. Do not be afraid of making mistakes.

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I loved the work I did. I loved that they wanted to push me to success and allow me to continue to take on more and more responsibility for what I need. I also loved my boss.
What I wish was different
I wish the on boarding process and orientation was different.

If you feel board or are being limited by the scope of the work you are doing; ask. Ask them to increase your workload or ask if you can help them with their work framing it in a way which shows the benefit to them. It works.
