Pros

The compensation and benefits are excellent and truly market-leading. The firm's overall stability and performance provide job security that is rare in finance. Working here gives you a top-tier name on your resume that opens doors globally.

Cons

Don't believe in one "JPM culture." It's a collection of franchises, and your promotion path, workload, and management style are almost entirely defined by your local group. Be prepared for a potential short-term mindset from some managers focused on immediate P&L, which can create friction for longer-term initiatives.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
