Pros

Chase is an interesting place to work because you can collaborate with all levels of employees in locations all over the US (or even globally).

Cons

Despite the fabulous press, there is much cost cutting (and job cutting) going on. Employees have to bring their own toilet paper, paper towels, water and coffee in certain locations. Some employees describe their work teams as "the island of lost toys" because of the mixed results of mergers and downsizings. Promotions are simply out of concept.

Pros

Top tier company with growth opportunity

Cons

The expectation to work 40+ or passed your normal shift as an exempt employee was common among peers and management.

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).
