Pros
I'm in State Street Global Markets as a contractor, so I can't comment on the benefits because I'm not familiar with them, but as a workplace environment, it's a tough place to guage- there's really no uniformity to the way things are run. This can be a benefit depending on which department you're in and who you're working under. I'm able to work from home sometimes, and the lack of process in what I'm doing makes it easier for me to implement my own ways of doing things. The money is pretty decent as well. I'm a contractor, but I'm working 50 hours per week.
Cons
Management management management. Some of Senior Management is great, and some have no idea how to run a staff or how to put good middle management into place.
