Pros
- Good career advancement opportunities - Flexible hours and worklife promoted - Good people to work with - technology positive (although wtih 850 announced layoffs...)
Cons
The company has undergone a significant change these past few years. The State Street of old is no longer, as it is now all about off-shoring core functions and doing more with less. While not a bad goal for stock-holders who enjoy nice quarterly returns, there is no clear path and everybody is nervous now about their own skin. Far cry from the "open door" and collaborative philosophies under Marsh Carter. Now it is all about expense control and zero-loss tolerance, even though the management practices and constant change / off-shoring / team shake-ups and "business transformation" directly challenges those goals.
