Vantaggi
J.P.Morgan Chase has been recruiting top talent from all around the country. One thing you will learn when working here is that the employees are down to earth and helpful, all working together to achieve a similar purpose. The communication between upper management and the lowest level employees is commendable. Compensation is top notch all across the company, from the front office I-banking to the Developers and Business Analysts in technology. While the benefits and corporate perks are being cut down by our CEO, the money saved is going towards higher employee compensation and increased company stability.
Svantaggi
J.P.Morgan is a meritocracy, which is good except for the long hours and intense focus required to meet deliverables before deadlines. Most of your conversations with colleagues will be work related and you will rarely see a group of people chatting by the watercooler. As with any company that recruits from the best schools around the world, you will find it a major challenge to rise the ranks faster than your peers, as the requirements for each promotion are structured such that you should have a certain number of years of experience in the previous position.
