Pros

JPM Bankers are sharp, deeply care about the work, and genuinely want to do the best work for their clients. That being said, life as a junior can be tough.

Cons

Long hours and polar outcomes for juniors (haves and have-nots of the analyst class). MDs tend to quickly sniff out who they think is "good" and "not" -- if you fall into the "not" category your life won't be fun. The good analysts get worked far more (longer hours, gnarlier projects, etc) - but they get better bonuses and more fulfilling work.

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).
