Pros
some good people. made some good friends here. I left SS in 2013 but Glass Door drop down doesn't go beyond 2020. I wanted to put a lot of distance between myself and this chop shop before posting a review.
Cons
Offices are embarrassing. run down, mice, cockroaches (literally cockroaches in the office regularly), all gray, drab, like going to work in a rainy day every day. Management laid people off every single year. Every december we'd wonder if we'd have a job in the new year. You were not a human to them, just a cost. We'd get this long email at the end of every year where the CEO would brag about how well the company was doing. We all knew to just skip to the 3rd paragraph where we'd learn of the cuts: layoff, 401K match cut, healthcare benefits getting worse, reduced raises and bonuses. You'd be lucky to get a 1.5% raise here. If you complained about it you'd be told you're lucky to have a job. I'm not being cute here, when I say I 've NEVER met a current or former employee who had a positive thing to say about State Street I mean it. I've never met someone who was in any way proud to work there. If anything most people were embarrassed to admit working there. The company's reputation that bad in the labor market. It's an employer of last resort.
