Pros

There are fantastic opportunities at State Street. The training program is extensive, the company is huge and encourages movement, and there is a strong focus on networking. If you are willing to work for it and have the right skills, you can move up quickly.

Cons

The company culture is that of workaholics. This comes all the way from senior management down to associate level employees. There is no work-life balance at all, and this isn't going to change. The pay is also below market, which State Street has recognized but doesn't plan to adjust. If you're aware of these issues it can be a great place to work, but most will not stay long term.

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.
