Pros

Chase is a very powerful and strong name which brings along a great amount of benefits for that reason. The company is financially viable and willing to spend money where it can see a good reason.

Cons

Managers and above are expected to bleed Chase. It must be the most important thing in your life. Do not expect that your family life outside of work is more imporant than what Chase needs even if that means unplanned late Sunday night meetings to talk strategy on something that could have been discussed the next day. Also be ready for layers of red tape in order to get simple things accomplished. There are so much division of labor to the point that it would take a team of 20 people to accomplish the simple task of providing instuctions for someone to tie their shoe.

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).
