Pros
It was good earlier - here they hire to fire. They give VP/Sr VP titles like candies and then in review cycle would likely say that you didnt meet expectation. Immediate Termination and no severance , happened with lot of my collegues and have heard horror stories. Ask someone who works for chase uk (ICB) Team. Most leads are pathetic micro mangers based out of UK. If you work good there position would be threatened and you might be brought down in multiple ways. I just wanted to intimate innocent souls JP morgan as a whole is decent but ICB/Chase Uk is worse. Even HRs wont help when the leads and ED’s screw your ratings the next year. They will create a rat race kind of maze for you.
Cons
forced competition among team mates - who did more jira , whose commits have more file changes . Too many odd hours stupid calls that can be easily avoided. Layoffs every quarter even for slightest of disagreement or some prod issue be it (low severity)
