Pros

If you are in financial services, JPMorgan is the place to be. The executive leadership is phenomenal, and the bank well positioned to come out of the current crisis in great shape. From a technology perspective, a lot of time and effort is spent running it as a business, but also focusing on being a fast follower of leading edge capabilities. Huge budgets, and the ability to do things that would be far too expensive elsewhere.

Cons

In the current environment, there is a sort of stigma being associated with a bank - especially one that is now partly owned and "managed" by Washington. However, JPM has good things going for it. Not enough real innovation and a lot of waste in duplicative systems and processes - part of the downside of being sugh a huge organization.

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).
