Pros

Benefits are great, 401K is quite competitive

Cons

The salary to a young proffessional is a joke. I feel that State Street takesand unfair advantage recent college grads. There is an exceedingly large amount of older employees who get paid far beyond the amount of new hires, but complete far less tasks and workload due to various incompetencies.

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

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
