Business outlook
Pros
Solid Benefits (at least when I was there), entry level exposure to financial markets, and good internal checks and balances (ie SOCII compliance and HR procedures)
Cons
Employees who work outside the Boston area often feel like they've been relegated to a 2nd class status. The constantly shrinking industry meant wave after wave of layoffs, downsizing, and even large scale pay-cuts. After 7 years at this company, with positive reviews each year, my salary only had increased 1.6% per year on average. Stay at this company long enough and you will slowly be locked out of consideration for other employment as career growth at State Street means something difference versus the rest of the job market.
