Pros

It is a good company to work for as long as you are in good books with your manager and middle management. Once management starts recognizing your effort and output, this is a great place to be, but with a capital emphasis on ONCE.

Cons

Too much politics in middle management and the ratio of managers to developers is disproportional with too many mid level managers per team. Needless to say,under these circumstances, developer efforts usually get in the background and are overshadowed. Very less visibility for one's work if you are just a developer while the actual productive work would be done by them. Least people friendly HR.

Pros

Benefits are on par with other companies. State street is also moving towards increased flexible work arrangements, although this appears to be limited to certain business units.

Cons

Promotions are sometimes more determined by what group you are placed in. Leadership & management experience varies. This will effect your outlook on your job. Experiences vary widely depending on your client. Many jobs are expected to move to India, the Joint Venture (JV) within the next few years.

Pros

If you are a college graduate, this is a good company to start with. You are going to learn a lot of things and the company gives free training classes.

Cons

No carrier advancement. After 8 years, you are still going to be in same position.
