Pros

- JPMorgan is a solid brand to have on your résumé. - Ability to work from home. - You will learn to hold your breath while going to the bathroom. - You will get good experience, opportunities to work on cutting edge technology and opportunities to work on multimillion dollar projects.

Cons

- Absolutely zero employee loyalty. - Disgusting facilities - bathrooms are perpetually filthy. Ever seen a urinal turn into a fountain? This company cares so little about its employees that they neglected the building until that actually happened. - You will always be just an expense and treated as such. - No training - tons of lip service about increasing training but never any action (common theme). - Mobility is really just the opportunity to work on a slightly different project. No real opportunities to expand your career or do different types of work. - When compensation time rolls around no matter how many billions the bank makes there will always be some line about how it's "tough times." - This place should be considered just a job and not a career. If you're not in NYC or London then you are treated as a second class citizen, which is just marginally better than how they treat the "offshore" employees. Do your time and get out. - For as often as JPMorgan is ranked as a great place to work that ABSOLUTELY does NOT apply to IBTech. Do not be fooled by any of the "investment bank" nonsense they spew at you during an interview.

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.
