State Street reviews

This place is the biggest joke EVER. DO NOT WORK HERE. I was hired 5 months ago and literally do not do a thing. I thought this would be a decent job out of college and it sucks. I sit at my desk all day and pretend to do work when there is none. We have 5 people in our team "handling faxes and interacting with clients" but we really only need 1. Nothing comes in on the faxes and I rarely speak with anyone. I am usually so bored at work that I really don't care if I even do the work. Employees take 2-3 hour lunches because nothing ever happens. Some employees may pretend it's busy but in reality there is no way! If you want to sit around and waste your life work here. You'd be better off being the janitor in the building.

Too politically correct and strong "good ol' boy" network in management of white, catholic males, that have attended catholic universities. They do support promotion of women, people of color, and non-US passport holders but the third aspect is abused by folks having Irish passports (a loophole used by many whose grandparents were immigrants) Too much dead senior Mgmt in Boston and innovative thinking or risk taking is not encouraged. Like most banks, way too bloated with risk and audit tech is way too slow to react and ops not motivated to take a risk.
