Pros

State street is a large company that is doing very well financially. You will have room for advancement and plenty of opportunities to explore different areas within the company because of its size. With the company being so successful, you don't need to worry about State Street going bankrupt as they just recently had one of their best quarters ever.

Cons

Employee morale is extremely low. Compensation and high employee turnover makes it hard to remain an employee there. Many employees as well as managers do not have business or finance degrees and lack the crucial management skills to adequately address employee morale and respect. It is an issue that never seems to go away. Compensation comparable to other jobs at similar companies is extremely low and yearly bonuses might as well be none at all. For a billion dollar company, they do not treat their employees with the respect they deserve.

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.
