Pros

State Street proves that it's better to work for a large company than a small startup or no-name shop. Great perks, people, and autonomy. Too many meetings, but that is true most places. Outside of meetings you are left alone to get your work done, a big plus.

Cons

Pay is low. Too many meetings, and the bank is a bit of a dinosaur - things move slowly. If you have ways to keep yourself busy this is not a problem. If you get bored easily or don't have interests outside of work, or can't pickup extra projects related to work, it could be a problem.

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.
