Pros

The work environment is low stress. They provide good benefit options. The work hours are relatively flexible and managers work with you to schedule paid time off.

Cons

The compensation is far from competitive. An abundance of middle management crowds out promotion opportunities. Entry level jobs are being "dumbed" down and outsourced to India, so that State Street is able to hire people without degrees to do some of the work, and pay them even less.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
