Pros

Good resume booster. A lot of positions give you a good opportunity to learn a lot. These are the only two things. You'll see some people mention the work/life balance... it doesn't matter. You don't stay late, you don't get half your work done. You take a vacation, everything is in shambles when you get back. This is because of terrible organization and incompetent and selfish management.

Cons

low pay, toxic culture, get out as fast as you possibly can before this place sucks the life out of you. This isn't me having an abnormal terrible experience. This is the experience of most people working at State Street. My review just sounds terrible because I'm not trying to look on the bright side. This is what it is.

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.
