Pros

State Street is a great organization to join out of college, providing much needed exposure to a corporate setting. They have an impressive array of technology and a user friendly in-house operating system. The benefits are solid with ample vacation time.

Cons

There is very little room for advancement. Office politics play a pivotable role in advancing. Hard work is not rewarded, as management's goal seems to be keeping that person in their current position to make their own work easier. The day to day is very redundant which hinders career 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

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
