State Street

Good environment and management is very approachable and helpful, however it is a big disconnection between low level and upper management. Upper management forces practices and policies without consulting with lower management and without proper knowledge of the outcome of these policies. People are treated as numbers by upper management, however lower management puts tremendous efforts to fix upper management mistakes. People are worked very hard while compensation lack by much compared to competition.
Advise for upper management is to pay attention to talents and not let them go easily as it takes a very long time to get individuals at certain skills level. In the end having talented individuals translates on higher returns for investors. Cutting costs is effective when it applies at a certain degree to increase efficiency and not on everything as once you lose good people you will end up with poor results and you will lose the clients as well.

Hardest part of job is juggling multiple projects all with equal importance and starting at the same time. 

No work life balance

Enjoy the people that I work with. Very dedicated and hard working

Daily work varies depending if one is working from home or in the office, this is one of the work/life balance that the company has in place. We are required to undergo numerous yearly trainings which we must pass prior to deadline, Its a diverse culture where we enjoy working with different inter related cultures, management always expects us to finish our daily chores, because it is a time driven work, volume tends to be at a high note per employee which is quite a load that requires us undergo overtime to finish other report submission at the end of day transaction.

Intense environment with a lot of opportunity for overtime and learning new things. Flexible work arrangements may make work/life balance possible.
Amazing co-workers but clique management style limits opportunities if not overtly holding back progressive staff wanting to contribute more and/or challenge stagnant ideas. There is lack of communication potentially due to structure of organization.
Most challenging part of job is rapidly changing demands and reactive culture.
Most enjoyable part of the job is the network of colleagues and opportunities to learn.

The team is mostly under 30 years old and the work environment is relaxed, good for recent graduates looking for an entry level position to get some experience or people looking to make some cash while studying for CPA/CFA. Work is very repetitive though and becomes boring after 6 months to 1 year. Compensation is only better than working as a teller. Turnover excessively high, no incentive o stay. Pension plan + healthcare + educational assistance are decent.

The people there is amazing and fun. Employees are young and smart. Mostly all of them are pursuing a CPA or CFA while working.

There are not much opportunity for advancement and learning, once you understand how the systems work and being able to get help from diverse department when needed, there are not much more to learn.

The job requires accounting and finance knowledge so graduating from one of these two bachelor you should be fine.

Work from 8-10 to 5-7pm it depends on the clients assigned to you

I feel like i am lucky o be working for State Street. The company constantly goes through changes to its technology or operations model. There are opportunities to move around within this large organization in Ontario and Quebec. The management team is supportive and approachable from my experience and willing to provide with extra projects if available to engage the employee some more.
