Pros

this review is for SSGA, Canada: 1) nice office but mediocre pay compared to the SSGA staff in boston 2) the employee culture in SSgA canada is decent.

Cons

1) too many VPs within a department. This can cause 'too many cooks spoils the soup' situation. VP is like another word for Managers in SSGA 2) If you are not into analytics or portfolio management in canada, there are very limited growth for SSgA canada as most of the positions are located in boston

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.
