Pros

Working at statestreet is an opportunity to gain industry knowledge through exposure to a wide client base. Servicing client portfolios gives insight into the workings of the financial system. For those changing industries, some entry level jobs do not require experience in the financial service industry to start.

Cons

Everyone does there own thing and little guidance is given until you make a mistake. The workload can be difficult to start, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a pretty routine. The office is busiest near the end of each quarter. Do your job and be ready to move on when an opportunity presents itself.

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.
