State Street Response

Thank you for your comments and review. I’m glad to hear you’ve leveraged the large network available at State Street. Networking is a great way to learn about the different areas of State Street and explore new opportunities. I have enjoyed building my network through engagement on volunteer initiatives and through my involvement with various employee resource groups. We know that in order to attract and retain great talent, we need to provide competitive benefits and flexibility in how, when, and where we work. I find it very encouraging that senior leaders and managers throughout the organization are supportive of flexible work arrangements and offer multiple options to employees. I encourage you to speak with your manager and explore Life at State Street on Collaborate for additional information regarding benefits and flexible work arrangements. -Chirag Patel, Assistant Vice President, Leadership

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.
