      State Street is happy with mediocre performers

      Pros

      This is a great company for non-financial workers to get basic training and experience in financial services. The company can offer opportunities to motivated individuals and is looking to expand outside the US. State Street is not likely to be acquired by another company.

      Cons

      The employee experience can vary within the company and there are multiple layers of management. There are many employees who are not motivated and don't take ownership. The fastest way to get a raise is to leave the company. Executives think they deserve the same pay as their investment bank counterparts.

      Pros

      its a great entry level job and a good start to a career in finance.

      Cons

      you stay in an entry level position for quite awhile, and the better you are at your job the more they want you to stay where you are, not moving or getting promoted.

      Great place to gain experience but don't stay too long

      Pros

      The benefits are good and the GA, GM and Securities Finance groups are the most desirable ones to join. Most of the jobs are stable until recently when the company strayed from their principles and ended up with riskier assets (off balance sheet financing, couduits, high yield funds by investing in toxic assets). There is an organized hirearchy which is both good and bad

      Cons

      Internal politics can be too constraining, the structured environment does not encourage quick results and outdated technology is in use for most part.
