A terrible experience: I learned nothing new and applied 0 knowledge from college. I wasted 3 years at this company.. - Anonymous employee State Street Employee Review

Project Ocean is a joke. State Street is moving the entire middle and back office to India to save money. Wasting your existence and short time on this Earth working at a company that underpays you and gives you no marketable skills/experience for new firms is hardly a rewarding experience. Spending your day reviewing work being done by outsourced joint venture teams in India, who know nothing, constantly make mistakes, and all the while knowing the reason you are doing this is so that they can eventually take your job when fully trained is depressing and makes you and everyone in SSGS hate their existence. Also you are the laughing stock of the industry because everyone knows SSB pays far below the industry standard. State Street (unless you are at SSGA of course) is a complete joke. They underpay far below the industry standard, which attracts subpar talent who know nothing and horde their positions by not sharing knowledge to new talent because they are afraid of losing their $60k/year jobs. If you have any talent / self respect do not waste your time on this squid island. You will end up lambasted here and benchmark your career at a lower salary level for years to come. Run away and don’t look back
