Pros

the 5% match on the 401k, the employee discounts on checking and banking, discounts with other companies, the strong financial position in the industry... I approve of Dimon's leadership in the "fortress balance sheet" , but not in the management of the people.

Cons

The expectation of being sickening sugary sweet with customers while some management is rude, and disrespectful to employees. The micromanaging style the company has adopted since Dimon has taken over. A style that is distrusting of the employee in general. If the employees were to treat customers the way they are treated by management, the employees would get fired.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
