Pros

Formerly two great companies that struggled for many years after their merger. Took a tremendous hit during the market down turn losing three-quarters of their assets. Began a multi-year rebuilding processes after replacing the CEO and many top positions. Operations was sold to State Street which has provided more training and leadership that existed before. Solid company. Good business prospects. Very good opportunities to learn from State Street staff around the world and transfer to other State Street Operations locations.

Cons

Operations is now an outsourced resource. It is more difficult than before to transfer to other positions withing the company, e.g. research, trading, sale & marketing.

Pros

There are a lot of talented people doing the work. You can learn from clients and the good people - not sr management. Sr management will take all the credit and leave your managers to make all decisions because it could go badly.

Cons

Sr management refuses to deal with horrible performance of stock funds. This co is a sales company not a good money manager but technology and sales are always shorted in favor of paying the same investment people for their excuses. Decisions are made over years because accountability is no way to get ahead. Technology jobs sent offshore then back then again and the whole thing died over years for lack of leadership.
