JP Morgan Chase - Global Technology Management
Pros: Great Salary, Lots of responsibility, fast paced environment, leading edge technology
Cons: Long hours are expected. There were many weeks that I worked 60+ hours. It was needed to get the job done. 

They are constantly looking to cut cost and people is one way that they do that. Doing more with less it the common montra. 

I don't know if they still do, but they used to use a forced ranking system that demanded that 20% of the employees in a department were Exceptoinal, 70% were Acceptable and 10% were in need of improvement. This worked fine for a couple of years, but eventually good people were forced into a need improvement ranking because we had to meet the distribution curve.
