Pros

State Street provides fair compensation with a good benefits package in a Fantastic! working environment. The employees by far and large are very friendly and caring. The working environment is relaxed and comfortable. There are many opportunities to grow as a person and an employee.

Cons

As with all companies that have a large amount of entry-level jobs there is a noticeable amount of turnover. At times this can cause under-staffing issues that other team members will have to make up for. On the bright side though this does mean a fair amount of overtime on a yearly basis can be available. Stellar performers will often feel underappreciated and stifled by the corporate atmosphere... but a solid 95% of employees will love the opportunities available to them at State Street.

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
