Pros

In my 5 months there I have seen a handful of managers at work, and while some first line managers may be hands off or lack specific and necessary knowledge, my VP is very accessible as well as knowledgable and willing to help. Also, the 401(k) offers a 100% match of 6%, in which I am completely vested after 1 year. As I can't see any reason to stay less than a year this is an amazing benefit. I'd also like to point out that management encourages learning more from other departments in periods of down time. As I am an entry-level employee, this offers me an excellent growth opportunity that should provide me with the appropriate tools for wherever I land next.

Cons

The salary is geared towards exactly who they want to attract -- young professionals willing to learn who don't carry many expenses. As such, the salary is on the low side at $33,000 in my position.

Pros

Good benefits package, nice office location (downtown Toronto)

Cons

It is a large organization, it can be a challenge navigating the bureaucracy to get things done. 24/7 support of application is required. No room for growth. High turnaround.

Pros

Easy to get an entry level position. Not a bad way to get your foot in the door. Fund Accountant is an easy job.

Cons

The pay for this position is low and it can be hard to live on it in Boston. Other Boston companies know what fund accountants at State Street do, which is backoffice grunt work.
