Pros

Good pay, great insurance, & had I stayed there longer, opportunity for growth

Cons

Sadly, the individuals I worked for were not the best. The office environment was very stoic and serious. I am all for taking your job seriously but a little sense of humor and fun never hurt anyone. Feeling like you can talk to your co-workers is a huge plus as well. The individuals I worked with definitely made me feel that my role was minute at best. It was disheartening and degrading and I truly disliked every minute I worked there. I also had the extreme misfortune of having a predecessor that honestly hated me and didn't want me to succeed in any way possible. It was the oddest and most uncomfortable situation I've ever been in. This person would tell me to do certain things, not help me when it was clear I needed assistance (because I was learning how to do the job!!) and then would let me fail and get reprimanded. And then proceed to bad-mouth me behind my back. It was bizarre. I quit after a few months. However I will say that my good friend also worked there but in a different part of the office and her experience was 100% the opposite of mine. So honestly, the people you work with/for make a BIG difference. This con really can't apply to the entire J.P. Morgan company as a whole, just the specific office I worked in.

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?"
