      Pros

      Good work life balance. Good training.

      Cons

      The salary is crap and when you get promoted you are told that we cannot give you anymore as we just don't have the money but please take on the extra responsibility and extra hours for nothing because you should just love to work for us !! There isn't much in terms of progression.

      DO NOT WORK HERE: Low Pay, Bullying Encouraged, Controlling Managers, High Staff Turnover

      Pros

      None. Do not be fooled by the shiny building in Canay Wharf.

      Cons

      Working at State Street is like working with a boot constantly on your head. Long hours, low pay, useless management, poor systems. Bullying is encouraged by Senior Management, the company is set up to control their employees. No one hangs around for long. DO NOT WORK HERE.

      Pros

      They pay you each month (nowhere near the market rate but they do pay you!) "Welcome to State Street" seems a nice thing to say but it is the phrase they use to new hires when the new hire questions the ludicrous ways that State Street does things! Translates to "I know its absolutely ridiculous but don't even bother thinking you're going to change anything."

      Cons

      No strategy. Unbelievably status oriented. Don't bother having any ideas about how you could improve things- it's only your boss who can have ideas. And don't try arranging a meeting with someone of a higher "bank grade" or sending them an email. They won't respond. Dictatorial Culture of presenteeism. You need to be seen to be in the office and for extended hours. It's not about what you deliver.
