Pros

I have had the opportunity to take real ownership for my projects, I've gotten great visibility and resume experience, I have grown as a developer, and the benefits are good. Personally, my direct manager is great.

Cons

The company management does not respect tech workers and tends to treat them with contempt. They gloat about how eager they are to fire you and replace you with AI basically every day, even though they have no idea how AI actually works. They only prioritize the quantity of your work, not the quality. I am constantly arguing with unrealistic deadlines from non-technical management who have no patience for any requests to implement things in a more responsible way that will take more time. "AI" is used as a buzzword to replace personal responsibility from people above the VP level.

Pros

I loved working at Chase in Home Equity and First Mortgage. Decent pay, decent managers that were supportive.

Cons

The business credit card department is an absolute nightmare - avoid! We got moved around due to housing market changes. Understandable but they also made it seem like it was going to be the best thing that could happen to us. Told us we wouldn’t be answering calls and then it was full blown call center. It was the literal worst. Most unorganized, unsupportive, dumpster fire of a department.
