Pros

The work/life balance at JPMorgan Chase is excellent. They are very flexible when it comes to work needs, life events, and other situations. For instance, I have been working from home for the last 18 months, and have found my productivity to be better than ever. This works for my situation because I can perform all my work tasks via telecommuting. This arrangement does not work for everyone, but JPMorgan Chase recognizes that everyone has a unique set of circumstances, and tries it’s best to do what’s best for everyone. They also have the best benefit packages I have seen. (vacation, health, retirement, etc...)

Cons

It's a very large company, so there are many bureaucratic things you need to be able to deal with.

Pros

They treat people well overall. It's all about connecting to others to get anything done, so if you're great with networking and maintaining connections it's a good place to work. Honestly the kindest layoff I've ever experienced, including genuine internal support to find another job. Still doing meaningful DOI work, including some of the best friendly benefits out there.

Cons

If you don't have a highly specialized cyber security skill set or work at a main campus in Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New York or New Jersey don't expect to ever move up the ladder. Staying focused on goals OR successfully communicating strategy pivots seems to be beyond most MDs in Global Technology. They seem to be having a re-org problem at the moment. I had 5 managers in the last 365 days I was there, hardly time to get any work done and then challenged at the end to show impact or delivery, all you can do is shrug and say 'tell me how, when you moved me every 2 months?"
