Pros

May be flexible work arrangements if you get to work for the right manager

Cons

Constant organizational change implementation of unnecessary technology. Calling helpdesk for a password reset seems like a mission impossible scenario. Constant micromanagement. Managers having FOMO if they find their employees talking to others outside the team.

Pros

Lots of very well paid and smart individuals both technical and at the business level. Company does not hesitate spending money.

Cons

Huge competition exists at every level between old and new employees. The old employees contributed in the past, remained loyal, but don't have nearly the same skillset of the newer employees. You see political games from executive VPs all the way down to the lower level workers battling it out. Mainly the old groups just want to hang on another decade or so. Is obvious. Many new, young employees join State street, and don't last. Is for a reason.

Pros

Large company and generally easy hiring process, so easy to get in. Good for H1B as they would process it and also offer Green Card processing

1. Heavy on bureaucracy, too many non-lean processes/ticketing systems. 2. Lack of vision in senior management and leadership, mass confusion and mass exodus from company since last 8-10 months 3. Pays less than most companies in the area 4. No work life balance 5. Due to easy interview process, many incapable employees
