Pros

It's something to do while you look for a respectable career.

Cons

Demoralizing and career crippling. You will constantly be in fear of being laid off, regardless of the skills you bring to the table. Your loyalty towards the company does not hold any weight, SSB will stab you in the back when you least expect it. Other companies find State Street experience on your resume to be laughable at best.

Rocky Seas for State Street

Pros

First 10 years, great environment and lots of community and inclusion activities. Flexible Work Arrangement Program a plus. Majority of employees are totally dedicated to company and work extremely hard.

Cons

Financial crisis and regulatory landscape, plus changes in executive management, have provided a very unsettling employee culture. More and more difficult to get promoted to VP, Managing Director and SVP. Constant uneasiness about "will I be on the list" and get let go this month?" Losing lots of highly knowledgeable, talented employees.
