Pros

Good company culture, onsite gym & cafeteria, work-life balance, PTO, 401k match.

Cons

Compensation is well below average. Starting salaries are very low and promotions are capped at a certain percentage. This makes it impossible for your salary to ever catch up to "market value". State Street on the resume can make it difficult to gain fair value from potential employers since most know how low they pay. It is also very difficult to move from operations to other functions. KC office is looked at as the little brother compared to Boston office.

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.
