      Associate II - Good Place to Learn, Not Stay

      Pros

      - The people. Your co-workers are all in their twenties and you will have plenty of fun. The Sacramento office has a ping pong table, fun location, and some really great people. - You're in an office environment with a good name on your resume. You can say you have been there, done that with regards to some legitimate finance experience. It is back office work, but you can easily spin it to sound halfway decent. - You will learn some... not a lot, but some. After a few months, it is mostly repetitive steps you have seen thousands of times. - There are some real Excel gurus in the office. Learn from them as much as possible.

      Cons

      - Repetitive, super boring work. - If you're a decent employee, they will quickly overload you with tons of stuff to do. - Frustrating, with little help from management (a byproduct of promoting some young employees quickly). - After a few months the learning quickly evaporates. - Middle management - officer & AVP - are some questionable employees.

      At best, State Street is a stepping stone to a real job.

      Pros

      State street has decent benefits and the ability to work from home. WFH is nice but quickly becomes a two edged sward.

      Cons

      In recent years State Street has become very hostile to it's employees. Work from home was introduced as a way to have a work life balance but has turned into an expectation that yes, you can take your child to the doctor for their 104 degree fever but you better be logged in from home working until 11pm tonight. Compensation has also become a thing of the past. Every year the company brags on how well we've done only to turn around a few weeks later and make excuses why for yet another year they can not afford to give raises to all but 20% of the company. Lastly, it is no longer a place to grow a career. State Street is constantly trying to lower the bar. Promotions are based on the lowest bidder and if you have been in your position for a few years you are considered overpaid and you are laid off. There is a reason State Street so aggressively pursues college seniors. They are cheap, naive, in experienced, and will not stay around long enough to move up the pay scale. At best, State Street is a stepping stone to a real job. Do not consider this a long term opportunity.
