Pros

State Street considers itself a technology provider to the financial services industry. As an IT worker this benefitted me. I got to work on some interesting projects. I picked up some new technical skills along the way. The pay was good, as were the bonuses.

Cons

In a word, bureaucracy. No work gets done without filling out the right form and having it approved by one, but more often more, levels of management. The long time employees there tended to have bad attitudes - complaining all the time. This combined with the bureaucracy tended to be a morale killer. Management had a very cavalier attitude toward night and weekend work. It was almost as if they didn't expect us to have lives outside work.

Pros

Good benefits package, nice office location (downtown Toronto)

Cons

It is a large organization, it can be a challenge navigating the bureaucracy to get things done. 24/7 support of application is required. No room for growth. High turnaround.
