Pros

JPMorgan is one of the biggest, and maybe one of the best large banks. Employees have an enormous amount of information at your fingertips, if you have enough time to read it. The business has changed radically since the financial crisis, with a heavier focus on compliance and the bottom line, but a stellar suite of products and customer-facing technology, not to mention the perks of working for a large corporate sponsor. A great place to have on your resume.

Cons

True to any large organization, interior mobility is challenging, there is a burdensome amount bureaucracy and nepotism. Top down communication is frequently unclear and intentionally misleading. There are many different lines of business so an employee’s experience may be radically different depending on where they sit, but work is typically unevenly divided with good employees overburdened leaving less-than-stellar employees with plenty of time to network and get promoted.

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.
