This is not your grandfather's JP Morgan
Pros: Competitive salaries.  Resume builder.  Work from home available (if your manage approves it -- rare though).
Cons: Heavy politics.  Lots of unnecessary red tape to navigate through in order to get things done (due to people justifying their existence).  Senior managers are clueless as to what really happens in the trenches.  Mid-management is typically a "boys club" and very hard to break into unless you know someone (hard work will not pay off otherwise).  Promotions are also political as management wants to limit the compensation pool.  Not very "senior" friendly -- once you reach a certain age it's amazing how quickly they try to get rid of you.   Don't think you will be working here for 30 years, unless you have managed to dodge the hurdles of management changes and you are able to maintain your network with senior management.  There is no loyalty here; unlike the JP Morgan of old --this IS Chase now (cut throat, budget-oriented environment all to make a buck at your expense).
