Pros

JPMorgan Chase offers challenging work (in the right departments), plenty of opportunity to grow and advance, and a great pay / benefits package. It's nice to work for a large organization that has all the 'HR' stuff figured out but still has a lot of small teams where you can grow.

Cons

Very few, to be honest. There are pockets within the organization that are not top-performing but I suppose that's true in every organization. You should be able to sniff those out at an interview.

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).
