Pros: For someone like myself that doesn't know exactly which line of business or role will be the best fit for themselves, JPMC is an ideal company to work for. They offer opportunities, and often encourage branching out to other LOB's after you've satisfied your one year commitment in your current role (and sometimes sooner depending on demand and workload).
Cons: If you are hired mid-year, and are looking for a fast track for promotion, it is difficult to achieve this after your first year. Your EOY performance reviews play a key role in determining your eligibility for a promotion, but if you're hired mid-year, you will not have been working for the company long enough by the end of the year (because you've only logged six months worth of time invested in your role). So you'd be looking at a realistic opportunity for advancement at the end of your first full year working there. Additionally, promotions are based on availability and need for each of the positions, so even though you may have superior marks and reviews, if the need for the next role above you is limited, you may have to wait another year before being promoted, as the company only promotes once a year.
