Pros

Good salary, that's the only thing I can say as plus point, joining JP. But that too is not very much high. You can get it outside as well.

Cons

No flexibility at all was in my team. Make sure to clear it before joining with your hiring manager. New building is in Docklands with no public transport going near to ofc. It's a long walk to reach office which is more difficult in rain. Third, check-in checkout everyday using a tool to monitor your hours. In terms of growth, you will be dependent on US team's pity to provide good work. Everything is decided by team sitting in US, even how many leaves one can take altogether. Your local lead has no power usually to make any decisions for you. No social club. No discount coupons. Cafeteria food is good but expensive, and as this new building is on Docklands, you don't have much options as well nearby.

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.
