Pros

Good ctc but if you negotiate well. Yearly hikes are good too.

Cons

So many- 1) No idea howwww the rating here is 4.1 because it exploits people on an inhuman scale. 2) The manager has no leash and treats you like a slave. Being in JP Morgan will make you realize what a toxic environment is that people keep talking about. 3) So as per the Manager if you take a leave, even if a sick one YOU HAVEEEE TO PICK UP THE CALL else no leave shall be granted in future. 4) This manager insults every member of the team in team meetings in his LOCAL language to get that effect properly. 5) Employees are so scared of losing their job so they dont go to HR and are just leaving after completing a year. 6) WLB is non existing. 6am-2am is the normal. 7) PM has 0 technical knowledge and forces you to get 5-6 tasks in a day which would take 14-16 hrs to complete. If you dont comply there is mental harassment by him constantly calling. 8) Other employees tried complaining in the past to the HR it seems but no action was taken. 9) So HR is just for namesake. Company posts fairytales on employee wellbeing while treating them like slaves. 10) Manager has absolutely no regard for privacy of employees. Calling them day and night and talking to them in threatening tone. Now comes the major surprise. This is not one off or a particular project. This behaviour is common across aallllllllll projects so changing projects will do you absolutely no good. JPMC managers should be jailed for harassment.

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).
