Pros

JPM is a very large institution with a great brand. Good competitive position in industry. Pay and benefits are excellent. Good location in midtown NYC. The people are generally pleasant and cooperative.

Cons

JPM is very bureaucratic and slow moving. The firm tends to favor quantity over quality. Politics plays an important role in career advancement. The organization tends to be impersonal.

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).
