BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 2004--
Leading Information Technology Publication Recognizes State Street
in Ranking of Top 100 Employers
State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), the world's leading provider
of services to institutional investors, announced today that IDG's
Computerworld, the "Voice of IT Management," has selected it as one of
the top workplaces for information technology (IT). This honor is part
of the weekly IT publication's 11th annual Best Places to Work in IT
survey, which was published in the June 14 issue and online at
Computerworld.com. State Street ranked 78th among the top 100 Best
Places to Work and was among five companies in New England to be named
to the list.
"State Street is honored to receive such high praise from a
widely-read industry publication and from the IT employees within our
company," said Joseph Antonellis, chief information officer for State
Street. "This recognition as one of the Best Places to Work can be
attributed to our dedicated staff of more than 3,000 IT professionals
who make it a top priority each day to deliver value-added products
and services to our clients worldwide."
Since 1994, Computerworld's annual "Best Places to Work in IT"
feature has ranked the top 100 work environments for technology
professionals, based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding
company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career
development, training and retention. In addition, this year
Computerworld surveyed more than 17,000 IT workers for the list, and
their responses factored heavily in determining the rankings.
"We were tremendously gratified by the reader response to our
'Best Places to Work' survey this year, which was 30 percent higher
and represents the views of nearly 17,000 technology professionals,"
said Maryfran Johnson, editor in chief of Computerworld. "The
most-desired benefits have remained consistent in recent years. IT
pros still want access to leading-edge technologies, training and
flexible work schedules. But our Best Places companies often go beyond
those measures to provide much deeper levels of job fulfillment."
