Pros

1. Competitive Pay 2. Work from home 3. Latest Technologies

Cons

1. High amount of politics in various teams. People who are insecure of their job, do participate in such activities to save themselves. 2. Poor ethics and core values from bottom to middle level managers. Perhaps organisation need to remind them on regular basis. 3. Not a safe place for women technologist. Most of the time, a team will have 1,2 women. They get easily targeted through anonymous feedbacks by team. Entire team will give them negative reviews to vote out and manager will rate as poor performer. Once you are rated as poor performer, you will get a 1-2 months of notice period to find another opportunity internally or leave the organisation. Most of the time managers are either aware of this or participate into this. Unfortunately senior managers are not able to do anything as their delivery depends on these managers. Within CIB Banking, Graphite Application, 4 senior women technologist(1 ED, 1 VP, 2 Senior Associates) were targeted in last 3-6 months and had to leave the team/firm. 4. Diversity hiring in technology has become a joke, because women candidates get easily hired by the firm and easily fired. Can you keep a check on quality and hire the people whom you can provide long term career within firm. 5. Long term career is rare within firm for women technologist as most of the time, they choose not to practice politics or are unaware that they are getting purposefully targeted. 6. Lots of people from single other firm(mainly Goldman Sachs) join the same team and play groupism & politics.

Pros

I loved working at Chase in Home Equity and First Mortgage. Decent pay, decent managers that were supportive.

Cons

The business credit card department is an absolute nightmare - avoid! We got moved around due to housing market changes. Understandable but they also made it seem like it was going to be the best thing that could happen to us. Told us we wouldn’t be answering calls and then it was full blown call center. It was the literal worst. Most unorganized, unsupportive, dumpster fire of a department.
