JPMorgan is one of the best places for people looking to learn and grow.
Pros: It is a wonderful place to network and meet people who can one day help you achieve something in your career. There is plenty of various work to do in different departments/fields, so, as long as you try very hard and work, you can achieve anything. (Of course, there may be some brick walls you hit on the way, but come on - those are found everywhere. The difference here is - you can go around one and try a different path, if you just can't break straight through.)
Cons: At times, working for a big company like this, one may find it difficult to communicate with the level of management that can really cause a change in the workplace/department. Some brilliant ideas for improvement and innovation may get shut down and lost if one finds oneself stuck reporting to an incompetent manager. Though there are few such managers at JPM (simply due to competition), there is some likelihood you may find one.
