Pros

1. Chase embraces diversity in all departments and puts a lot of work to maintain its image as a diverse and global corporation. 2. Good health benefits and discounts.

Cons

1. High turn over. 2. Depending on the team you are in, some leads don't fully understand agile not the technology you are working with. 3. Slow to adapt new technologies. 4. The culture enforces engineers to be "yes people" and to do political maneuvering for vertical movement. 5. Horizontal movement is not frown upon but it takes a while since you are basically interviewing all over again with different teams. 6. High turnovers, so you lose senior knowledge fairly fast.

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).
