Pros

Excellent place to begin a career if you're new to the financial industry. If you're looking to get into the industry but don't have a strong background, State Street is a good place to get your career launched. The overall level of talent is lower than you'd expect at one of the bigger firms, but they hire capable and friendly people. The culture is fairly laid back, but maintains a professional atmosphere.

Cons

Among the lowest pay in the industry, but generally fits the qualification level required. The work itself is quite tedious with low levels of variance. There aren't many opportunities for creativity as the work is quite repetitive

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.
