Pros

Pays well, ample time off, great name on resume.

Cons

Work life balance sucks. It’s not uncommon for people try to put meetings on your calendars after hours. Also there’s a ton of bureaucracy. Political landmines everywhere. Zero process management in DCE. Every single team does everything differently and people are turned into managers based off of nepotism (blatant at that) instead of actual merit. Also Chase is handling COVID extremely irresponsibly. Senior management basically threatened us with full time return to the office if we don’t comply with this hybrid schedule. Folks are exiting at a high rate and it’s very telling. Not a diverse culture at all and I’m in the NY office.

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.
