Pros

The work/life balance at JPMorgan Chase is excellent. They are very flexible when it comes to work needs, life events, and other situations. For instance, I have been working from home for the last 18 months, and have found my productivity to be better than ever. This works for my situation because I can perform all my work tasks via telecommuting. This arrangement does not work for everyone, but JPMorgan Chase recognizes that everyone has a unique set of circumstances, and tries it’s best to do what’s best for everyone. They also have the best benefit packages I have seen. (vacation, health, retirement, etc...)

Cons

It's a very large company, so there are many bureaucratic things you need to be able to deal with.

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.
