So STT will be taken over by TCS and interns according to the townhall meeting? Then why just move STT to Indian? There are plenty of banks here can take over the STT business in US.

I am seeing this is happing after spending long time training the offshore team. But does this means STT is violating American first labor policy? How to file a complaint to labor department?

I left a while back. Right around that time some McKinsey ghouls were in, trying to get everyone to come up with "efficiency" ideas. Just wondering how'd that go?

I’m very focused on getting promoted. I'm doing the best I can. On the other hand, there are many who tell me that maybe it's best to give up on that idea because even if I manage to get promoted, I will just get more work and nothing more. I find it... —  read more

I noticed some people only stay in a role for 1-2 years and then change jobs. Is this normal at SS?

The thing that bothers me the most at State Street is that this place is too political. Has it always been that way or...?
