Pros

The pros of working at State Street Global Services are really on the people and the culture. Most of them are very nice. They also let you work at your own pace as long you don't take way too much time, and they do pay 1.5 overtime, which is a big plus.

Cons

Because of the low base salary and overtime incentives, some employees drag it out. This results in less competent groups of people. In turn, you might have to learn with people who don't really know their stuff and who are afraid to ask questions or to be asked questions.

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.
