State Street reviews

The job is very mundane and repetitive. My experience was that management didnt really have a good grasp on what *exactly* were tasks they were doing. For example, many of my managers didnt know, or were unable to explain, the definition of standard things like, "term-loan", "swaps", "securities on loan." The explanation i *did* get, was how those things apply to State Street's functionality - which is not very useful when you are trying to expand your functional knowledge, or get a greater grasp of business fundamentals.

-Pay (both salary and bonuses are worthless) -During poor economic times don't expect more than a 1% raise even if you are rated well above average! -Other companies don't know enough about State Street to care about your "job experience" that you will develop here -For Kansans, the extra MO taxes, parking, driving cost, etc... really eats up your income fast. Do the math before taking the job as you may make more with a KS company at a lower salary -Attached parking garage is almost $60/month now. Average lunch price in cafeteria is nearing $7. -Company has banned fans, radios, personal heaters, crock-pots on food days, coffee makers, cell phone chargers, and anything else electrical you may want to help bring life into the putty colored sea of cubicles.
