      Pros

      Lots of very well paid and smart individuals both technical and at the business level. Company does not hesitate spending money.

      Cons

      Huge competition exists at every level between old and new employees. The old employees contributed in the past, remained loyal, but don't have nearly the same skillset of the newer employees. You see political games from executive VPs all the way down to the lower level workers battling it out. Mainly the old groups just want to hang on another decade or so. Is obvious. Many new, young employees join State street, and don't last. Is for a reason.

      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.
