Pros

Supposedly a performance-based culture. Multiple locations in Boston.

Cons

Working for a custodial bank means you will do a lot of dirty work, mostly tedious Excel and/or macros. State Street, like other similar firms, is a very top-heavy. The company operates on the backs of lower-level associates. There are too many AVPs and VPs. It's just a title, guys. What are you really producing on a day-to-day basis?!

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.
