Has potential to be better. Needs the right people making decisions, sadly that's not how it is currently. - Assistant Vice President State Street Employee Review

Pros

You will learn to operate as a big business should, risk mitigation, "act like an owner", process improvement, etc. Lots of smart people that will blow you away with their knowledge.

Cons

Obscene expectations to be successful. Crazy hours and responsibilities. Lots of blame shifting when there are problems. Not many truly exercise the "one State Street" mentality. Custody business is dynamic and State Street's technology, although ahead of competitors, is behind client demand. Constant issues with technologies produce strain with clients, that is only burdened by the client facing teams.
