Tone-Deaf to Employee feedback and needs

Business systems consultant iv

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive Pay Great People Innovative Strategies Opportunities for Career Advancement

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care about what the employees needs and wants are. They make decisions based on old-school banker thought processes without the actual forethought to the current and future landscape of businesses, nor to the desires and needs of their employees.

Agile and forced co-location won't fix this place

Software architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good WLB as WFH Good starting pay Bonuses have been ok Some good managers Many co workers are extremely helpful Learning at least a dozen new technologies annually

Cons

Microscopic raises, don't keep up with COL No room for advancement. Most managers too busy shining a light on their careers to help their employees. Too many self-interested, cut throat peers. Little ability to apply newly learned technology, as it's often dumped for the next new shiny toy. Agile cannot fix what's wrong here. Some maybe, but not all Pigeonholing all of IT into engineering roles, and eliminating all roles without "engineer" in the title does not mean IT will produce more, or produce efficiently Too many JPMC hires in upper management Too many secret consulting firm lead projects pretending to know how to fix this place. Not enough to senior leadership walking the talk. Not enough senior leadership ensuring that other senior leaders are held accountable for bad behavior.
