Pros

Amenities are great at Plano, TX location. JPMorgan Chase really showed their true colors during the Covid-19 pandemic, Covid days, extending vacation usage periods, remote work without the hassle. Medical Insurance is amazing. Prescription Plans, you hardly pay anything for most drugs, most of the time they are actually free. From a company perspective, as far as treating employees, it is a great place to work.

Cons

From a technology perspective, this place is a complete trainwreck! This organization literally has redundancy baked right in. There are dozens of teams all working on the same type of software products, dashboards for measures all kinds of metrics. Some written in React, Angular, probably even Cobol somewhere. Technical leadership lacks vision and direction. This place is basically your camp if you want an easy job, low responsibility, and you desire next to no career growth, in software development that is. I cannot speak to the other domains.

Pros

Excellent place to work. I learned a lot while I was there. The CCB Corrections Team is a strong team and everyone works together.

Cons

There are always layoffs constantly going on. The job was very stressful at times.

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?"
