Great Place to Work
Pros: - high performers will be treated well--the company is passionate about mobility and retaining talent, so even if a team ceases to exist, good people will be helped out and moved
- geographic mobility--JPM has offices all around the world, and I know of several people that have been able to spend a few years abroad (or indefinitely if they so choose) either at a similar role or within something different
- compensation is at par with other BBs (with a more supportive culture)
- corporate discounts are a nice perk--phone, museums, travel, etc
Cons: - review process can compress a person into whatever they are able to project on the senior leaders of the floor (in S&T) and the process can feel political and enforces certain behavior (instead of just doing a good job and focusing on ways to improve processes, image must be maintained)
- industry overall is compressing, so the trend here, as across the street, is to function as a leaner org (and the compression has negative consequences on comp and general sentiment)
