Pros

Amenities are great at Plano, TX location. JPMorgan Chase really showed their true colors during the Covid-19 pandemic, Covid days, extending vacation usage periods, remote work without the hassle. Medical Insurance is amazing. Prescription Plans, you hardly pay anything for most drugs, most of the time they are actually free. From a company perspective, as far as treating employees, it is a great place to work.

Cons

From a technology perspective, this place is a complete trainwreck! This organization literally has redundancy baked right in. There are dozens of teams all working on the same type of software products, dashboards for measures all kinds of metrics. Some written in React, Angular, probably even Cobol somewhere. Technical leadership lacks vision and direction. This place is basically your camp if you want an easy job, low responsibility, and you desire next to no career growth, in software development that is. I cannot speak to the other domains.

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.
