State Street Response

Thank you for your comments and review. I’m glad to hear you’ve leveraged the large network available at State Street. Networking is a great way to learn about the different areas of State Street and explore new opportunities. I have enjoyed building my network through engagement on volunteer initiatives and through my involvement with various employee resource groups. We know that in order to attract and retain great talent, we need to provide competitive benefits and flexibility in how, when, and where we work. I find it very encouraging that senior leaders and managers throughout the organization are supportive of flexible work arrangements and offer multiple options to employees. I encourage you to speak with your manager and explore Life at State Street on Collaborate for additional information regarding benefits and flexible work arrangements. -Chirag Patel, Assistant Vice President, Leadership

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
