Pros

There is some great people working in State Street. The canteen is massive and has a great selection. Exposure to a big international Firm

Cons

Commute- office is in the middle of nowhere! Salarys are low, if you get promoted only small increase in your salary! There is a lack of communication between management and employees. Also there is a divide between State Street staff and legacy staff of companies which State Street have bought.

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.
