Pros

...Nothing ever is. I have worked for two other companies in my career, and have found JPMorgan to be the best experience. My first job was in an exteremely relaxed environment, and my second was exceptionally intense. JPMorgan is right in the middle. Don't get me wrong, things can get a little crazy from time to time, but for the most part the work is manageable if you are operating at a high level.

Cons

Because of the merger between JP Morgan and Chase, we have to work with multiple systems across the private bank and retail side, which oftentimes do not communicate with eachother. Also, a lot of operational work has been outsourced to Mumbai; cultural and linguistic barriers make this a cumbersome fact of every day life.

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).
