      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.

      It’s good for takeoff but you have to be really desperate to stay there for longer

      Pros

      Benefits are great and the right off the street possibility to work with the biggest clients. Other than that it’s really fast paced and well technologically equipped place.

      Cons

      The high rollover at State Street is really certified by the fact that people that are with company about three years are considered long ‘distance runners’ and treated as a knowledge compendium. I have seen too many good talents to leave because of the low pay grade and almost no way for promotion. Consider this company as a good start up but do not stick for longer.

      Suitable for the non-ambitious

      Risk analyst, assistant vice president

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, more vacation days than industry Flexibility, work life balance, ability to work from home Plenty of leisure, good hours

      Cons

      Work is pretty mundane and not challenging, big company, too many people competing for promotions, things boil down to politics and sucking up mangers more than performance. While the pay is good enough for the amount of work, it is less compared to industry, not a place for ambitious types.
