Pros

- Approachable senior leadership - Interesting and challenging opportunities - The product is constantly evolving to keep up with industry requirements - from the product perspective CRD is not resting on its laurels - Client base includes the top firms in the financial services industry - Accommodating to remote workers - the remote work culture was strong even before COVID for certain groups within the company - Strong brand recognition in the industry - Pay is above industry standard - Generous PTO and other benefits

Cons

- State Street’s culture has permeated into CRD. Big company red tape and frustrating administrative processes slow down daily progress and get in the way of actually doing work. - The push for off-shoring is having a negative impact on the quality of services offered to clients and it is impacting the morale of North American employees. - Sales makes promises to clients that often are impossible to deliver, resulting in stressful and contentious situations. - Burnout is becoming rampant and many are planning an exit after bonus time in the spring. - Health insurance offerings are terrible - high-deductible plans only.
