State Street Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences on career advancement and where we’re going with our technology. State Street is extremely committed to both our people and our technology capital. Over the past few years, we have made several key investments in programs which offer new challenges and mobility opportunities for our employees: the Professional Development Program (PDP) to attract fresh talent; the Leadership development program (LDP) which aims to cultivate high-potential Assistant Vice Presidents into the State Street leaders of tomorrow; and many business-unit specific rotational arrangements, classes and mentorships across the organization. At State Street, you do not need to work in technology to be a part of the digital conversation. We are constantly looking for our people to bring new ideas to the table as we are committed to ensure both our employees and our clients have the tools they need for success. As we continue to ideate and innovate, it will be even more important for our people to inform and drive our technology offerings to ensure we are delivering high-value, cutting edge and industry leading capabilities to our customers. Keeping our employees engaged, empowered and passionate about the work we’re doing together as an organization, and what we’re delivering to the street, is paramount. -Adrienne Tolpin, VP Digital Experience, Offering Management

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
