Good place to work
Pros: I worked at JPMorgan as an IBD associate.  In terms of the company itself, it was well-run and it felt great to watch the other banks distinegrate while we remained intact- I would probably attribute this to the quality of leadership at the top.
Cons: In terms of lifestyle, it's as bad as any investment bank, but anyone looking for work-life balance wouldn't be in the industry. Reorgs and layoffs happened seemingly at random and quite surgically as opposed to them staging mass-layoffs or dismissing entire groups, which was unnerving.
