Pros

Benefits are on par with other companies. State street is also moving towards increased flexible work arrangements, although this appears to be limited to certain business units.

Cons

Promotions are sometimes more determined by what group you are placed in. Leadership & management experience varies. This will effect your outlook on your job. Experiences vary widely depending on your client. Many jobs are expected to move to India, the Joint Venture (JV) within the next few years.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
