Business Outlook

Pros

It is a good, solid company. State Street promotes numerous flexible work options to most employees. This is very different from other financial services firms.

Cons

Recent lay offs have created too much work for too few employees. Morale is worsening due to promotion and salary freezes.

Pros

this review is for SSGA, Canada: 1) nice office but mediocre pay compared to the SSGA staff in boston 2) the employee culture in SSgA canada is decent.

Cons

1) too many VPs within a department. This can cause 'too many cooks spoils the soup' situation. VP is like another word for Managers in SSGA 2) If you are not into analytics or portfolio management in canada, there are very limited growth for SSgA canada as most of the positions are located in boston

Pros

It's a job and a paycheck/benefits. You can get attention to detail/multi-tasking/Excel experience. Also it's a strict 9-5 job. I believe you get paid overtime, although it's rarely necessary. The slight downside to this is that most of the time must be there for pricing from 4-5 every day, even Fridays on holiday weekends...

Cons

I understand it must be challenging for such a huge company to organize, but if you are an intelligent/inquisitive person you will find yourself in a mundane role with little opportunity to take on more challenging work. Very rarely will you find someone passionate about the company.
