Pros

I learned strong Excel skills while working at State Street. There is a lot of opportunity to take on your own projects and show initiative. If you do this, it is easy to advance up the corporate ladder.

Cons

There was long hours. The salary was very low. There was a lack of strong knowledge across the office. They only provided 1 computer monitor for work that needed at least 2 screens. All of these led to high turnover.

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.
