Pros

- Commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion - Strong reputation, experience at JPM enhances one's resume - Smart, driven, COMMITTED colleagues -Good tuition reimbursement plan - Very strong internal learning and training platforms

Cons

- Your team may be mercilessly overworked. My team routinely worked evenings, weekends and part of our vacations (I started tracking my hours- they amounted consistently to >60 /wk) -Persistent high turnover and understaffing. Experienced employees may find that they need to extensively coach new hires, even while dealing with crushing deadlines - Brisk pace and high volume of strategy and procedural changes being pushed down to rank & file staff, at a time when the team is already struggling just to achieve the core job, due to persistent turnover/understaffing - 401K Match is credited to your personal 401K account on only ONE DAY EACH YEAR (early February). If you are vested n the 401K but leave JPM on 15 January - you will NOT receive your accrued, pro rata company match. This is a stingy, employee-unfriendly, and frankly, INDEFENSIBLE 401K match policy for an employer of JPM's stature and means. -Medical and Dental plans are merely average, and there was no High Deductible Health plan option as of the Oct 2021 Open Enrollment - You may NEVER have any time to avail yourself of the Tuition benefit, or even the robust internal learning and training offered by JPM.

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).
