Pros

Decent experience if your a recent graduate The LRIF matching was a great benefit

Cons

Management! Management! Management! State Street has to have the worst managers in the business. Every one of the managers I worked under was either rude, moody or incompetent. And in one case it was all 3 at once! To make matters worse the Senior Managers never show their faces to you and don't seem to mind that the company has such a large turnover rate. Couple the problems with the managers with absolutely horrible pay rates and you get one awful place to work. The opportunities for advancement are also severely limited. Getting up to the level of Senior Fund Accountant is easy (if your manager likes you) but from there it is very difficult. Most of the managers are "lifers" who won't leave as they know they could not make it elsewhere.

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.
