Pros

I used to think it looked good on a resume. But the problems at this company are so bad that it sends a negative signal to other employers in the region.

Cons

Low pay. Long hours. Outrageous demands from the bloated middle and upper management. Most of the work is usually pinned on the most talented employee. You won't gain any transferable skills other than Excel because State Street uses exclusively proprietary software for pricing and accounting. It's an absolute trap. At it's best, this company fills your resume with precious black ink. At its worst, you will hear VP's openly saying sexist remarks in the break room. The most you can expect is for your mental and physical health to drastically decline with every second you spend in nightmare on earth.

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.
