Pros

Honestly, they expect you to do your job and at least do it well. They can get on your back, but it's probably because someone is on theirs. It's a decent enough job, pays alright, benefits (were) good, and work/life balance is wonderful. There seems to be good movement within the company, but, as it's so large, there are so many different sectors and you can't really just move freely between them. Oh yeah, and there is an office communicator that has every JPMC associate on it. So, if you apply for a transfer you can talk to the recruiter though communicator. Although, I wouldn't suggest that...at all.

Cons

Management is an absolute joke. I'm noticing that corporate offices are pretty much full of incompetent people who have a high position for reasons unknown to the masses. There is constant fear-mongering, complaining, and hypocrisy from management. Also, the company is huge, so trying to get things done with H.R. is silly fun. You're better off flying to India, getting some butter chicken and naan, and hoping that you catch one of the H.R. employees to talk to directly. Even then, the only part of the trip that would have worked out would be the food.

Pros

The team was supportive and willing to answer questions. I gained practical experience in industry research, financial analysis, Excel, and data organization while working on real projects. Managers provided helpful feedback, and the internship was a good opportunity to understand how research and analytical work is completed in a professional environment.

Cons

Some assignments could become repetitive, especially data cleaning, database updates, and reviewing large amounts of information. Deadlines could also be tight during busy periods. Because the internship was relatively short, interns sometimes had limited ownership over longer-term projects.
