Tough place to work if you are in IT - Anonymous employee BNY Employee Review

Too many layers of management to the point that the head doesn't understand what the feet have to do and doesn't really care. Recent cutbacks have triggered layoffs at the bottom to pay for more layers in the middle. Little advancement or external training. Long days, many weekends and not much of a life balance. Recently instituted using metrics to gauge employee performance which only adds to the effort required to do an already tough job and doesn't really reflect what is going on down on in the trenches.
