Pros

Easy career mobility within the company. If you are willing to spend the time and effort then there are opportunities that are available. There are many different areas within State Street that allow for huge variations from job to job. I have held 3 different positions within the company and have been able to learn about a different area in each one.

Cons

Very operations oriented which means the work is boring and repetitive. The starting slaries are too low. Most of the work should be either automated or moved overseas which means that there is going to be some downsizing at the entry level in the near future.

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.
