Pros

Only 1: it's a well-established name in the financial sector, so it can look great on your resume if you know how to play your cards right.

Cons

Managers are extremely weak and lack the experience, skills, and knowledge to manage effectively. Poor company culture, poor morale, and poor work force because all the talented people leave after about 2 years. All the managers and consultants are analyts who stay because they are not good enough to find better jobs.

Pros

It is a good, solid company. State Street promotes numerous flexible work options to most employees. This is very different from other financial services firms.

Cons

Recent lay offs have created too much work for too few employees. Morale is worsening due to promotion and salary freezes.

Pros

this review is for SSGA, Canada: 1) nice office but mediocre pay compared to the SSGA staff in boston 2) the employee culture in SSgA canada is decent.

Cons

1) too many VPs within a department. This can cause 'too many cooks spoils the soup' situation. VP is like another word for Managers in SSGA 2) If you are not into analytics or portfolio management in canada, there are very limited growth for SSgA canada as most of the positions are located in boston
