Pros

You get some experience working with a variety of securities, especially equities, fixed income, and derivatives, most of the people are fun to work with, opportunity for flex scheduling, depending on your business unit, that is if you work an additional 45 minutes every day for the fiscal year, you can get a day off every two weeks.

Cons

The compensation is low by industry standards, resulting in higher employee turnover rates. Sometimes there is a lot of pressure to ensure that deadlines are met. There can be times that you may have to work longer hours.

Pros

The people there are young and you can make some good friends.

Cons

The hours can be long. The pay isn't that great and lunch is very short, if even at all.

Pros

State Street is a great organization to join out of college, providing much needed exposure to a corporate setting. They have an impressive array of technology and a user friendly in-house operating system. The benefits are solid with ample vacation time.

Cons

There is very little room for advancement. Office politics play a pivotable role in advancing. Hard work is not rewarded, as management's goal seems to be keeping that person in their current position to make their own work easier. The day to day is very redundant which hinders career development.
