Pros

Extremely pleasant to work with the Audit team in Boston. Great colleagues, great people in general (at least my former team)

Cons

Compensation and experience assessment was not the best. State Street Corporate Audit pays way below the market average. I was extremely dissatisfaction, and disappointed with the cost of living adjustment in 2022, which it was $750 for the entire year while 7.5% inflation earlier this year. If you're looking for your first job, maybe this is the right company for you, if you're experience and still want to work for SS do not expect being compensated correctly.

State Street Response
