Ok, but don't expect a lot out of management
Pros: If you want job stability, this is the company for you!  Work life balance is pretty decent too but mainly because no one cares a whole lot about whether you're in the office being productive.
Cons: If you want intelligent people to work for, however, look elsewhere.  Management at JPM leaves much to be desired.  Part of the problem is that it's difficult to get rid of people here once they're hired.  So a lot of the good people end up leaving and all the bad ones are left behind.  Might be better in more senior front office roles but anything that's MO or Operational is not the best.  Good place to start out but once you've spent a few years here, move on.
