      I only see a small piece of the pie, but I don't like it - Project Manager State Street Employee Review

      Pros

      I'm in State Street Global Markets as a contractor, so I can't comment on the benefits because I'm not familiar with them, but as a workplace environment, it's a tough place to guage- there's really no uniformity to the way things are run. This can be a benefit depending on which department you're in and who you're working under. I'm able to work from home sometimes, and the lack of process in what I'm doing makes it easier for me to implement my own ways of doing things. The money is pretty decent as well. I'm a contractor, but I'm working 50 hours per week.

      Cons

      Management management management. Some of Senior Management is great, and some have no idea how to run a staff or how to put good middle management into place.

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
