Pros

The number reason to work at State Street is the culture. There is a strong focus on promoting a team-oriented work environment and management is typically very supportive of the work/personal needs of employees. The work/life balance is great, including flexible work from home arrangements.

Cons

Compensation for position is not as competitive as comparable positions at other financial firms. Verbal claims by firm of "identifying and retaining key talent" are not supported by payscale.

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

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.
