Pros

Perfect for someone who wants to work 10 hour minimum days, come home depressed, tired and hungry. Some people love that kind of grind, and if you do, JP Morgan is your place. Decent/good base salary and a pretty good bonus, but not worth the constant state of depression at the end of each day. 4 weeks vacation but no chance you'll ever get to use it all.

Cons

Where do I start? It's like a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off at all times. Constantly trying to keep your head above water as the work keeps piling up and never stops. If you don't drink the kool-aid, they will let you go quickly. Do yourself a favor and just don't bother working here.

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).
