A company that has no regard for employees or its future - Fund Accountant State Street Employee Review

Pros

You get financial services experience. Only take an offer if you absolutely cannot get anything else. They pretty much hire anyone who can count these days, and even some that can't.

Cons

AWFUL PAY and extremely high turnover. A college graduate ( some people with masters) shouldn't have to pinch pennies or qualify for food stamps. The pay here forces you to do that. People usually stay for a year and leave to something better.

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.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
