Pros
- JPMorgan is a solid brand to have on your résumé. - Ability to work from home. - You will learn to hold your breath while going to the bathroom. - You will get good experience, opportunities to work on cutting edge technology and opportunities to work on multimillion dollar projects.
Cons
- Absolutely zero employee loyalty. - Disgusting facilities - bathrooms are perpetually filthy. Ever seen a urinal turn into a fountain? This company cares so little about its employees that they neglected the building until that actually happened. - You will always be just an expense and treated as such. - No training - tons of lip service about increasing training but never any action (common theme). - Mobility is really just the opportunity to work on a slightly different project. No real opportunities to expand your career or do different types of work. - When compensation time rolls around no matter how many billions the bank makes there will always be some line about how it's "tough times." - This place should be considered just a job and not a career. If you're not in NYC or London then you are treated as a second class citizen, which is just marginally better than how they treat the "offshore" employees. Do your time and get out. - For as often as JPMorgan is ranked as a great place to work that ABSOLUTELY does NOT apply to IBTech. Do not be fooled by any of the "investment bank" nonsense they spew at you during an interview.
