Pros

Overall company environment globally free food.

Cons

No work life balance , too much of work load and not paid as per industry standard. shld forget about family and other side of life.No work from home option. Strictly no ..... No Job security - Teams are formed on short team -max 2 yrs , on completion of project , teams will be dismantled . jobs for members in a project is a big question mark next. members will be sent out with one month pay to search jobs outside. every year jpmc recruits 90k people on board , being 200 yrs old company emp count across globe is 2 lac till now. so calculating resource cut every year with common sense is easy. unwanted management layers , unwanted managers : Multiple layers of management for even silly things, a person - employee should satisfy offshore and functional managers. also top level management for which they have many people wasting company money and resources. for a small team there are ED , multiple VPs . Instead they can take out EDs who consumes 4 times of tech architects or VPs. Give authority to immediate managers to evuluate emp . Dual reporting makes more complicated in performance management. An employee should prove their work to all management teams - functional and offshore India . just to show case industry standard , jpmc follow agile in GTI , which never brought any change in last 2 yrs.management team enjoys their own sweet time in planning and to survive in the name of strategy meetings. No technology upgrade : management takes very long time in deciding technology changes. opportunities are given only to onshore team in US and UK. India team is only a back office data entry team , to dump unwanted non tech jobs.the front end core teams who manages tech decision and implementation are onshore team. Offshore managers and ED s are slaves to accept all instructions from onshore and use Indians as a scape goat for their survival. ED in technology group knows on how to survive in this bank by using employees career life(firing them) in india as a scape goat. By this technique they save their own jobs every year. Instead of doing this betrayal work for foreign people they can do some other illegal business alone or with their family members to survive and earn money.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
