J.P. Morgan reviews

1 - The QR Mumbai team has a bit political environment. Variable, promotion significantly depends on factors other than your performance. 2 - Fixed pay is significantly below the market rate. That makes the variable pay look good in terms of percentage. 3 - Work nature can get frustating, operational and less quant like. The role advertised would be state of the art R&D. The real work can be quite different from expectations. 4 - Management is sleeping and unaware of reality and without a care for the employees. 5- Work life balance is not great. The culture is to stay in office or WFH for long hours either working on projects or on management committees trying to make your name visible. The number of hours don't justify the compensation. 6 - No chance of relocation to business centers like London, NYC. 7 - Frequent cost cutting measures (cutting the office cabs, office overtime meals, etc. to save few tens of thousands rupees)

Getting hired is based on who you know not what you know. Lack of respect and consideration of employees wants and needs. After working from home for 15 months, senior leadership arbitrarily decided we should return to work in the office. There was no consultation with people doing the job, complete disrespect for us. It’s clear they intend to return to pre-pandemic, little wfh flexibility options other than a day here or there. Obviously the decision was made with the mindset of a long gone business model. Good people will leave because remote work is the wave of now. They are making efforts to diversify leadership but many feel it’s just for show. Same for career advancement and growth opportunities ,
