Pros

1.) If you work in the right area you may be eligible for a Flexible Work Arrangement (Note: Those privileges are can removed from an entire department, without notice, as a form of communal punishment for operational losses within a separate area of the department) 2.) If you become CEO you will be the 3rd highest paid in the entire industry.

Cons

Talent Loss/Brain Drain is remarkably high at State Street. With little to no merit increases for employees over the past 7 years, attrition rates for talented employees are extremely high. The remaining lesser-skilled employees have been forced to work longer and harder to implement unrealistic cost savings plans (i.e. outsource their own jobs). As a result, moral among employees is terrifyingly low (crying at the desk, storming out of the building are not rare events) and operational losses seem to be occurring at unprecedented rates.

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.
