Pros

A flexible work schedule is appreciated at State Street Back and Trust. That fact coupled with a nice benefits package is the extent of the pros.

Cons

Sadly, the company is far too large and therefore you have many bodies holding down positions for years and making it impossible for younger talent to move up in the ranks.

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.
