Pros

As a temporary employee, you get paid weekly. Thats about it.

Cons

Major, blatantly obvious favoritism. If you get in good with the 3 chosen ones, you’ll advance quickly. Qualified or not. Your work ethic, productivity, education level, great attendance - none of that matters. Are you with the “in” crowd or not? They employ more than 50% temp/consultants at all times, meaning if youre not hired in, they don’t give you any health benefits, sick pay, or time off. You could have covid & the plague, but you’d better be at work or your job is on the line! Meanwhile, JPM “employees” can take 3 months off WITH pay for “mental health”. Employee opinion surveys don’t apply to temps. Our opinions are irrelevant but we make up more than half the staff. They will keep you around as a temp for YEARS if you allow it. This was the absolute worst employment experience I have ever had. You hold no value. You are replaceable. Your spirit will be broken and you’ll dread coming in every day.

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).
