4 Things College Students Don’t Know About BNY Mellon

BNY Mellon is a great place for finance-minded students looking to get their foot in the door of the world’s sixth largest investment management firm, where assets like stocks, bonds, and more are bought and sold to generate income for clients. 

The global investments company has over $1.7 trillion in assets under management, and as a well-renowned, well-respected company that has received accolades from all over the world – including being named one of the world’s 50 safest banks by Global Finance — it’s a not-too-shabby name to have on your resume.

While there is plenty of public information about a bank with over 200 years of history, there are a few facts you might not know about which make BNY Mellon a great place to work and a great company to target during your job search.

1. BNY Mellon is pretty crazy about college students.

Right now on WayUp, BNY Mellon is exclusively hiring college students and recent grads for 3 summer internships–Asset Servicing Summer Associate Program, Client Services Delivery Intern, and Software Engineering Intern— and an entry-level position as a Software Engineering Employee.

Each program also offers robust training resources and networking opportunities so that you can learn from experienced professionals who can support and guide your career.

2. In 2015, BNY Mellon was crowned the top company for women in technology.

In a world where tech is still very much a “boy’s club,” BNY Mellon has racked up quite a few industry awards, the most notable of which came from the Anita Borg Institute, a nonprofit that promotes women in technology. The award was given to display that BNY Mellon has “demonstrated an exemplary commitment to advancing women in technical roles and creating a culture where they can thrive.”

3. On average, interns are paid $17.51/hr.

Considering the fact that most jobs for college students pay $5-10/hr, BNY Mellon knows how to compensate its young candidates.

4. Even if you have a low GPA, BNY Mellon wants you to put it on your resume.

While your GPA doesn’t always come up during the job search, we spoke to a recruiter at BNY Mellon who said that “Honesty is the best policy.” BNY Mellon recruiters would much rather see the full picture of your resume (and your performance) rather than “assuming the worst” and wondering why certain information has been left out of your application.
