Pros

State Street is a large, stable company that is growing despite difficult economic times. The benefits are very good; the hours and work life balance is excellent in my position. The management team that I work for directly is great.

Cons

The salary is quite low. Being a large, tradition corporation, I find myself doing the same things over and over with little strategic input. There are a lot of folks in my area that come in, give their 8 hours, and head home; they do what they have must to get through the day, but there is not an effort to try to improve the normal processes.

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.
