      Pros

      Excellent place to begin a career if you're new to the financial industry. If you're looking to get into the industry but don't have a strong background, State Street is a good place to get your career launched. The overall level of talent is lower than you'd expect at one of the bigger firms, but they hire capable and friendly people. The culture is fairly laid back, but maintains a professional atmosphere.

      Cons

      Among the lowest pay in the industry, but generally fits the qualification level required. The work itself is quite tedious with low levels of variance. There aren't many opportunities for creativity as the work is quite repetitive

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
