      Good, but Cheap. - Fund Accounting Manager State Street Employee Review

      Pros

      State Street is a recognizable name to put on your resume and it will definitely give you a good experience in the field of your choice. As far as I know, State Street is one of the best technologically equipped companies in the industry. Paid vacation is sufficient. People are nice.

      Cons

      Based on the information that I have from other places and from recruiters, other companies in the industry pay much more money for the same positions. I would expect State Street to offset lower salary with covering insurance benefits 100%, but they don't. As within any big company, your voice might not be heard by Seniors.

      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.
