      Has potential to be better. Needs the right people making decisions, sadly that's not how it is currently. - Assistant Vice President State Street Employee Review

      Pros

      You will learn to operate as a big business should, risk mitigation, "act like an owner", process improvement, etc. Lots of smart people that will blow you away with their knowledge.

      Cons

      Obscene expectations to be successful. Crazy hours and responsibilities. Lots of blame shifting when there are problems. Not many truly exercise the "one State Street" mentality. Custody business is dynamic and State Street's technology, although ahead of competitors, is behind client demand. Constant issues with technologies produce strain with clients, that is only burdened by the client facing teams.

      Pros

      Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

      Cons

      No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

      Pros

      They offer resources for learning.

      Cons

      In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
