Great Place To Work! If Your Working Towards Retirement, Lack Ambition , Willing to Wait for Change
Pros: JPMorgan is a company that is trying to change and be innovative. Upper management is wholeheartedly trying. They are investing heavily into technology and are attempting to provide the hardware and resources needed by technologist.
Cons: Direct managers appears to be on the opposite side of the spectrum of where the company wants to go. At least that is what I got from talking to other's and my own experience. I would continuously get the same feedback; my manger doesn't know what he/she is doing; I have no idea why my manager promoted that person; My manager wants to use a certain technology, but it makes no sense; I hardly get feedback and at the end of year review is brief and pointless.

With the above said about managers it wouldn't be surprising to know that pay is all over the place. It would be up to you to make sure your getting the pay that you should be getting.

The most disappointing thing is that the promotion process and hiring is ad hoc. Which probably explains why JPM is full of bad managers and unambitious people or people that are happy with just doing the status quo. There are people at levels that shouldn't be at that level, no idea how they got there.
