Pros

Depending on what manager or department you are in, the experience can be very rewarding. In my 4 years here, I've worked with some really fun, sarcastic, smart and interesting people. Seriously, everyone I've worked with at State Street is so dramatic and sarcastic and I enjoyed it. If you put in the work, if you drink the "kool aid" you'll get promoted. Flex time. Work from home, 4 day work week. The company (again depending on department) is very flexible. Diversity. State Street loves diversity. If your gay, black, purple, transgender, identify as a turtle, you'll be welcomed with open arms. No one cares, nor should they! Its easy to apply to different internal jobs at State Street. If you hate your job, wait a year and post for a new internal position. State Street likes promoting from within. The people. You'll meet some great friends.

Cons

Pay is so low compared to industry standards. I left State Street for a 40% raise.

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.
