Pros

Time off is about all the company brings to the table.

Cons

Having left State Street in February just before COVID-19 I could see the turn the company had taken and was fortunate to get out before shutdowns kicked in. State Street is completely committed to eliminating manual labor in the states and paying a fraction of a salary here to employees in India. You are worthless in the company's eyes if you're below a VP. Raises and promotions were non-existent my last three years there. Work continues to pile up on people left behind while simultaneously not giving anything back to the employees for doing so. Officers and AVPs overseeing teams act as talking pieces for upper management and aren't going to go to bat for you. Layoffs have been rampant and the company deliberately shapes the work environment to encourage resignations so they can avoid paying severance packages. Absolutely not a place you want to be starting at new right now. Would avoid at all costs.

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.
