State Street – “Not a bad backup

Jun 3, 2009

3.0

State Street Fund Accountant in Boston, MA:   (Past Employee - 2007)

Pros

It's a job and a paycheck/benefits. You can get attention to detail/multi-tasking/Excel experience. Also it's a strict 9-5 job. I believe you get paid overtime, although it's rarely necessary. The slight downside to this is that most of the time must be there for pricing from 4-5 every day, even Fridays on holiday weekends...

Cons

I understand it must be challenging for such a huge company to organize, but if you are an intelligent/inquisitive person you will find yourself in a mundane role with little opportunity to take on more challenging work. Very rarely will you find someone passionate about the company.

Advice to Senior Management

They need to start at the top, and spread a more open-minded approach to management. They reek of the term "micro-management". The managers who were above my own manager often don't even look the way of any other employees.
