Pros

During my time at State Street I was able to grow tremendously and make great and lasting friendships. Benefits are okay - nothing special. Was able to gain frequent exposure to senior management (MC members). Role, rank, and industry exposure allowed me to move on to a new firm with ease.

Cons

For every one 'A' person there are 5 B's. 300 C's and 30 D's and F's. There is a lack of vision and strategy around the evolving landscape of the core businesses. State Street is very political in the upper ranks. Investment in human capital is lacking. Most business and corporate units are understaffed or have average people in the seats. Driving true change throughout the organization is very difficult as a result.

Pros

Employees here are very laid back and easy to talk to! Coming into work doesn't actually feel like "work", which is every person's dream! Great culture here. They promote volunteering & building your network. They hold classes where you can learn more about finance/accounting as well as how to develop yourself in your career Supportive executive management Depending which team you are placed under, promotions can happen yearly or even longer.

Cons

Although I really enjoy doing what I do here, the salary is the one thing that is making me want leave. Tasks can get repetitive.
