J.P. Morgan reviews

Depending on the team, work-life balance can be horrible, like in my case. Never left office before 11 PM. Some work till 3 AM. HRs have no idea of work culture in a particular team. "Rarely you may have to stay a bit late" - is what they'd say before joining - Total BS. Managers form opinion even before you've started delivering. Lots of bias towards certain employees. Some employees are always right, some are always wrong. You'll be ignored deliberately in meetings. Your efforts will be ridiculed if you're not liked. Very unpredictable behavior from Manager. You get shouted for doing something one day, and for not doing the same thing other day. Reporting to multiple bosses - Each has their own agenda, mostly contradicting with each other. most of the time you get confused on what direction to take. Too much bureaucracy - to get a simple job done, there is a lot of process and approvals involved. Most of times you feel that you're chasing processes than getting work done. If something is successful, your Manager takes credit, something goes wrong - you're responsible. Too many meetings - most of them useless, you spend more than half day and most of your productive time in useless meetings. There are many more, but that's it for now.

Work timings - With the overlap needed to work with US team it means most teams work from 12 PM to 9 PM ...which means by the time you get home, family is sleeping. For some people it doesn't matter, for some it does...for those who it does, it will impact your life in a non-subtle way. Figure out how you want to deal with it before you join. It means for 5 days your evenings are toast. But on the other hand it gives a lot of time at the start of the day to pursue your interests but the family is hardly at home during that time. That has been the only 1 big single con with this job.
