JPMorganChase reviews

Worse than the new typical collaborative “open office environment” concept seen in similar corporate facilities. The Plano campus consist of the new theme to squeeze as many people as possible into a fishbowl. This is even more pronounced in the IT Developer areas. The company offers medical coverage but there is a tier system in place so the more successful you have been with your career expect to be penalized with higher cost of coverage (socialism mentality). I joined as a software engineer and began during the pandemic time working remote. No laptop or any type of WFH stipend offered. Expected to use your home personal equipment to work via VPN. Return to office and must work from a shared computer where you log into a desktop with personal credentials to identify yourself as the user. This is so they can move you around at moment’s notice and save the fee on laptops. Kind of cheap for a billion-dollar company! Company invested a lot of money into these new facilities pre-pandemic so now is forced to reject the work-from-home or even hybrid concept to justify real estate investment and receive local and state tax incentives. Nothing to do with collaboration. That is an excuse. Call it for what it is! If your political views don't lean to the far left this might not be the right fit from a culture perspective.

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.
