Pluspunten

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."

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Minpunten

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
