Pros

State Street strives for performance excellence at both the individual and organizational level. The investment themake in the personal and professional development of their people is what leads to the company's success. By also investing in the development of exciting and new technology, employees are equipped to succeed in offering clients a complete range of investment products and services.

Cons

There is limited room for advancement. Employees are not well compensated- considering the requirements for the position. It should be noted that State Street do over compensates its Officer Level Employees and does nothing to reward the non officer level employees- small raises, small bonuses and long hours.

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.
