Pros
- Brand name - Something to put on your CV - Can lead other minions and factory like workers - Can sometimes lead to better opportunities within JP Morgan - If lucky, there is a break room in some floors and a Table tennis table - 10% of the work is actually challenging - People are kind and not nearly as cutthroat as I would have expected
Cons
- No worthwhile skills learnt - India office does back end work. Only a cost centre, so treatment is rough. - Terrible work life balance - Work is really boring. Will make you go mad out of frustration. - Management is terrible - You will reevaluate your life and wonder how you made such a terrible mistake. - It's a big giant bank, so a VP or ED is mid career roles even for the bright few. Doesn't really mean much.
