Pros

Branching out from old business model to expand into new markets such as Alternative Investments Trying hard to catch up with younger, leaner and more agile competition Good values and corporate social responsibility Very good employer with great benefits

Cons

As always in larger corporations - politics. Know the right people and getting things done will be much easier There definitely is a very strong circle of influence in Boston which makes it more difficult to be efficient for people in other locations Markets moves fast and STT is like a large vessel so pace of change is not matching needs despite efforts

Pros

For those driven to learn, the company can still be a great starting point. A long history and capabilities in the four walls do still exist. Amenities and benefits are good, and if the case may be, exit packages are fair.

Cons

Although great expertise still resides within the walls, utilising it is a challenge (silos, the best staff are very busy with regulations, and there may be a back-log of queries e.g. IT.) Many years outsourcing duties can take a toll on the collective culture and belief in a long and fruitful career. Downward trend in stock price may make things worse. Get ready for a bumpy ride.
