Pros

room to move around and promote as long as you are in Ohio or maybe Texas or NY, other than that - forget it. Strong capitalistic model with investment side of bank that really seems to work well and support all other areas of the bank; JPM will out live us all

Cons

Stale culture, and long hours if you are in management. get used to that blackberry.. management turnover/change in roles is absurd. don't like your boss? wait a year...

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).
