Pros

Made good friends. Nice cafeteria options.

Cons

Title worship. Toxic middle-managers in tech. Absent leadership who only wants to be put on a pedestal and worshipped. A lot of busy work. Manual, tedious and draining workload. Lots of people who talk a lot of technical nonsense about architecture but don’t have the skill to back it up. Just the title.. They want a blend of toxic and skill based personality in leadership that keeps the alpha culture going ( could be male female or other person that is driving this alpha culture of a bygone era). I went in to jpmc as a confident person but came out in about a year with low self-esteem and always second guessing my decisions ( my manager would micromanage, yell, talk down to me in front of others).

Pros

Good work and life balance. People are typically friendly.

Cons

RTO was reinstated with bad communication (we found out through the news) and you will be forced to commute even if your team is not co-located with you. Coworkers of mine who were hired as remote were made to in-office, forcing them to move their entire family. You will still have to pay for parking / food at their cafeterias. Compensation will be lesser than if you joined a tech-firm doing the same work. Advancing your career will require you to 'jump ship' in-between different financial companies. It is very hard to advance normally. AI adoption is a must (which makes sense for MY job) but it's to the point where our annual performance is based on how much AI we use.
