Pros

Easy to get an entry level position. Not a bad way to get your foot in the door. Fund Accountant is an easy job.

Cons

The pay for this position is low and it can be hard to live on it in Boston. Other Boston companies know what fund accountants at State Street do, which is backoffice grunt work.

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.
