      Pros

      Challenging work, good benefits and great people. They tend to have plenty of opportunities for those individual looking to advance in their careers, but you have to be willing to work for it.

      Cons

      When I first started there the work life balance was terrible but has been improving over the past two years. To be honest, at first I didn't mind it because I was eligible for OT but once I became a salaried employee, my direct reports were making more than I was during our peak production periods which seemed to be every other month..

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We know how important internal mobility is to our employees, as well as the success of our organization, so I’m glad to hear you believe there are opportunities to advance your career at State Street. I’m also pleased to hear you say that you’ve experienced an improvement in work/life balance. This has been a focus of ours over the last few years. If you aren’t already a part, I’d encourage you to check out the Flex Work Employee Network (which was recently recognized as one of the best Employee Resource Groups in the nation!). You might learn something new that you can apply to your career or tips on how to help your employees find balance, too. -Hazel Keating, SVP, Talent Development

      Pros

      Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

      Cons

      No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

      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.
