Pros

Work From Home arrangements Career advancement opportunities Promoting from within Benefit package (excluding compensation) is above average

Cons

Email. Email. Email. Everyone receives over 200 a day and it never stops. Pick up the phone already. In today's economy it's a CYA environment. This starts from the Sr Mgt; let's worry less about placing blame and institute appropriate controls instead. Although the notion of cost cutting is impressive, cutting costs by offshoring activities is going to come back to haunt State Street. The level of service provided by State Street's JV is sub par at best.

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.
