Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at State Street Global Markets full-time for more than a year
Pros
Best reason is that the company is a global company and there is a lot to learn from one another. I liked interacting with various departments.
Cons
A bank is a bank and the environment set is very fast paced. Expectations are set but not kept real.
Advice to Management
Pay people to work not sit around and act as a "good" employee. Work ethic over status quo.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at State Street Global Markets full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Decent pay Decent benefits Decent amount of vacation days Work life balance ok People are nice
Cons
Forget about raises- there’s always a reason to not give you a raise Little to no room for advancement if outside of Boston Bureaucracy becomes unbearable at times Extremely siloed making it difficult to move things forward if you are simply hoping to get things done As a result of the above if your focus is on achieving results, there is very little job satisfaction to be had
Advice to Management
Work on streamlining the organization Hire and retain good people Promote young talent and develop them Get rid of the lifers who are contributing little but getting big paychecks

Pros
Nice people Great pension Great location Nice offices
Cons
Very low pay relative to the market; at times 50-60% less than other banks. In some cases it’s even more. Make sure you negotiate your package as pay-rises are few and far between. Some haven’t had one in 5 years, other than inflationary adjustments. HUGE disparities in pay across desks. Some VP’s earn twice or more what others do, even when doing exactly the same job. This is very apparent and people openly talk about...

You must diversify your talent pool. Stop employing city veterans in the 50+ range who you’ve worked with for 20 years (for example). Instead, look at younger, hungrier candidates with a passion to learn, develop and bring real ideas to the table. Secondly, you must invest properly in initiatives. Buying an OMS system which is only popular in the US doesn’t count. You must look to improve your current suite of products...
