Pros

Overall, the benefits at JPMorgan are pretty solid. Above average PTO and sick leave added together with bank holidays. Very competitive or above average salary. The firm is clearly a leader in the financial world and business is doing very well year over year.

Cons

C-suite executives can't read the room on company moral which is at rock bottom which is odd for a company that is posting record profits. Bonuses have gone down over the years. WFH is no longer an option for the vast majority of the company. Very old school mentality coming from the top down: in office expectations, micromanaging, using "efficiency" to justify anything negative the company is doing, etc. Not to mention the doing away of diversity programs. In today's political environment, it seems like the CEO is emboldened to do as he pleases as opposed to take into consideration the people actually doing the work.

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).
