Pros

A flexible work schedule is appreciated at State Street Back and Trust. That fact coupled with a nice benefits package is the extent of the pros.

Cons

Sadly, the company is far too large and therefore you have many bodies holding down positions for years and making it impossible for younger talent to move up in the ranks.

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

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
