Pros

I joined JP Morgan as a Software Engineer a while back, and really enjoyed my time there. Amongst the programming team I was a part of, everybody supported each other and wanted each other to succeed. There are some tremendously knowledgeable people there including several "big names" in the software development field. Management are generally very smart and seem to be all ex-tech. Meetings are always short.

Cons

Fairly long hours, though this seems to be at least partly voluntary. Bizarrely for such a wealthy company, hard-drive space on PCs is very limited, causing some people to waste a bunch of time deleting unneeded files from time to time(!). Mandatory "training courses" which had absolutely no applicability to anything I was or ever would be doing.

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).
