RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at State Street full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great starter job as a graduate and great location in Drogheda and SJRQ. Opportunities to advance to associate 2 or supervisor available with hard work
Cons
Apparent that a number of colleagues did not understand the fundamentals of what they were doing.
Did not feel comfortable asking questions for fear of backlash
Favoritism around holidays and difficult to get days around holiday seasonsAdvice to Management
Please provide proper support and training to new starters. I might have decided to stay longer than a year and gain more experience in the area if this was done.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at State Street full-time
Pros
There is not a lot of pros to working here - Impossible to get salary raise, bad atmosphere, no new growth opportunities, maybe good for learning at entry level
Cons
Impossible to get salary raise, bad atmosphere, no new growth opportunities, maybe good for learning at entry level. Would not recommend, if you do join go for a YEAR AT START OF COLLEGE TO GET EXPERIENCE AND THEN GET OUT
Advice to Management
No advice needed - it is what it is - same across the industry - back office BS - management could prob do a better job to make a more enjoyable culture but that's about it

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at State Street full-time
Pros
They pay salaries that are reasonable, albeit at the Rock bottom lower end of the scale compared to competitors.
Cons
Hard nosed ruthless machine. You are a number. Not a person. Short term thinking. No interest in building a good organisation. Non sincere commitment to gender diversity and equality, but they interested in creating a perception they are for the economic benefits.
Advice to Management
Develop your people. Take an ethics course. Discover what it means to be human. Focus on long term value. Move away from stepping and stamping on all in your way and chopping people down as you ride it out for the few years to retirement when it becomes someone else's problem. It's poor for all stakeholders. Develop young women into leaders rather than appoint women to roles because they are women. A lot of poor performing females dragging the rest down.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at State Street full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
VHI is 75% covered including family.
Cons
Extremely sparing with payrises. Promotional opportunities vary greatly between Depts. Slow to replace lost staff. Existing staff expected to absorb new business.
Advice to Management
If State Street insist on trying to taking on all new business available, which seems to be the case, then recruitment must keep pace with that policy.

Pros
Flexible hours/working from home options. One of few companies outside of Dublin. Option to move around internally to gain exposure to different areas.
Cons
Poor pay in comparison to other FS companies. Promotions based on time served rather than performance, too many low level, clueless 'managers' as a result
Advice to Management
Focus on retaining your staff, make salaries competitive, get rid of so many middle management levels and stop relying on associates to run the show.
