BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2005--
Leading IT Publication Recognizes State Street as Top 100 Employer
For Second Consecutive Year
State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), the world's leading provider
of services to institutional investors, announced today that it has
been selected as one of the top 100 workplaces for information
technology (IT) professionals in IDG's Computerworld magazine's 12th
annual Best Places to Work in IT survey. State Street was among six
New England companies to be named to the list.
"State Street is honored to receive this recognition for the
second year in a row by a leading industry publication and, most
importantly, by our own employees," said Joseph Antonellis, chief
information officer for State Street. "This recognition as a best
place to work for IT professionals can be attributed to our focus on
technology and continual investment that keeps our customers and
employees engaged at the leading-edge of development."
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 20,400 IT workers for the list, and
their responses factored heavily in determining the rankings.
"This year's Best Places to Work rankings represent companies
across the industry that recognize how a strong commitment to and
investment in employees are synonymous with creating a great IT work
environment," said Don Tennant, editor in chief of Computerworld.
"Once again, we found that IT professionals are looking for rewarding
and challenging projects, access to leading-edge technologies, career
growth and development and a comfortable work/life balance. Our Best
Places companies not only offer these benefits, but also do so in a
manner that goes well above industry norms."
The Best Places to Work ranking appears in the June 27 issue of
Computerworld. For the complete listing, please visit
