J.P. Morgan reviews

Difficult to advance career. JP Morgan Chase is a great place to work when you're starting out or when you're not interested in any more career advancement. If you're new, you'll learn a lot, but as you continue to put in years there, you'll realize that your career isn't really advancing as you'll be stuck doing the same thing basically forever. That can be a problem, but if you're older and don't care to find a new job or move up the ladder, it's a great place to work into retirement.

Its an investment bank so you will work long, long hours. There is hardly any administrative support. The organization is flat and unless you are politically savvy, then you will toil in your cubicle. Further, I worked in a regional office so it is very difficult to make much headway when no one from senior management sees you face to face everyday. I noticed that those who started at the same time, but worked in the NY main office did much better than those who worked elsewhere. There is a hyperfocus on containing costs and expenses, again, this being a priority of Jamie Dimon.
