Pros

- Big company/finance sector perks - Mostly good, friendly, genuine people - Great campus and facilities - Easy to transfer internally

Cons

- Heavy bureaucracy and politics to wade through - Lots of annual review/bonus driven people. Therefore lots of one-upmanship and power grabs - Easy to get trampled on if you don't have a backbone. - Mostly in-house software and processes, with non-transferrable skills to learn - Very short-term focused delivery. Tech debt is accumulated very quickly in order to appease higher ups and annual reviews - Technical stacks and projects are very set in their ways, but with enough immature tech thrown in the mix to become a nightmare - Lack of T-shaped devs, very much I-shaped (poor broad technical knowledge, good in narrower areas) - Poor Agile/Scrum implementation. Severe lack of POs/BAs. Often used as an excuse rather than a planning tool ("Remember, we're agile") - Pressure to be in the office more than core hours, even if nothing more to be done

Pros

Good company. Good brand name but worst managers and seniors.

Cons

No team culture, people will do their best to hide what they know about the project. No sharing of info regarding the project, if you ask they will complain to managers that you are not good. They expect that you are a super man and know everything about project and do assigned work without any background given to you. If you ask doubts then you are gone. No work life balance. Will extract your life out. Seniors will gang up against new comers and treated badly. Politics, Politics, Politics good people will be made to quit

Pros

Bus service , Cab drop if its after 8PM. Easy on boarding. Have enough car and bike parking space. Have enough resources to waste.

Cons

So many cons, from where to start. you will have dual managers, one is in India and another in USA, and both will never solve employee issues. treat Indian IT employees worst than daily labors, Work is done in daily transaction way, no specification provided and expect developers should work as per their imaginations, i never figured it how to understand their imagination without any discussions or specification requirement document, as they do not fallow any sprint or agile process they send single line mail as requirement and expect it to me completed in a day. what a joke. and if anyone even completes after reading that single line, they will find thousand faults in it which would have solved by having specification requirement document. US managers are highly insecure and don't want to share any interesting work with Indian teams . Culture of company will male employees loose self confidence and will make them stubborn not to work. full blame games and face saving plans. managers are most backward and unfit people in JP Morgan. and I found this mentality only here. managers are as worst as they can ever be in the world.
