Reviews about "place to start"
Return to all Reviews- 3.08 Jul 2018Senior AssociateCurrent Employee, more than 8 yearsBoston, MA
Pros
Good place to start and gain valuable work experience and learn a lot. Flexible work arrangements and work from home capability.
Cons
Inefficient business model that's forever changing. New projects and initiatives are rolled out prematurely. Job security seems unstable with focus on transferring job responsibilities to India.

Pros
It is a very good place to start your career as you get to learn and network with many other fresh grads. If you are willing to stay and do your time, you will surely be promoted to senior roles within your team. Managers and peers are nice people and nice to work with. Management is approachable. Company has good benefits and is looking to improve work/life balance for employees.
Cons
Long hours coupled with low compensation = high turnover. When I worked at State Street, overtime was a common occurrence which lead to a very bad work/life balance as the hours were already weird enough, starting at 10am and having the day end at 7pm (supposedly).
