About the company

BNY

Company overview

BNY is a global financial services company best known for custody and asset servicing, alongside market and wealth services and investment management. BNY sits behind a lot of the “plumbing” of finance, helping banks, asset managers, and institutional investors administer assets, clear and settle transactions, and manage operational risk. BNY also runs technology-heavy teams in areas like engineering, data, and cybersecurity to support those services. BNY traces roots back to 1784 and operates as a large, multi-region employer.

Locations and presence

BNY operates globally, with a workforce that includes large populations in EMEA and APAC as well as the United States. For office-based teams, BNY shifted to a stricter hybrid approach, moving to four days per week in-office starting September 2, 2025, with one remote day still available in many roles.

Palpable Score

/ 100

BNY offers a wide set of early-career entry points across multiple countries, including a pre-internship, a 10-week internship, a 24-month analyst program, and a UK apprenticeship route that does not require a degree. The hiring journey is outlined clearly for these programs, but candidates still have limited visibility on timelines and the consistency of feedback. Learning signals are strong, and pay transparency shows up in at least some early-career postings, while published cohort outcomes beyond intern sentiment and intent-to-return stats are limited.
