Pros

You truly see how much attention is paid to ensuring JPMC is a good work environment. You feel safe and valued. Bullying at any level in the organization is not tolerated. Most importantly, probably the best salaries in financial services or similar functions in non-banking environments.

Cons

The culture is placed heavily on activity and inputs vs productivity and outputs. This means they believe for example, working in the office is better than working at home or meeting face-to-face or on zoom is better than an email or a phone call. This reduces the flexibility that some people want in a job.

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).
