Good company.
Pros: JPMorgan offers a wide range of opportunities, career advancement, and wide exposure to several technologies. I worked in the Investment Bank and the pace was significantly faster than the Retail side. The benefits are comparable to other Fortune 100s; however the health plans continue to place more of a burden on the employee through higher deductibles and premiums.
Cons: With respect to the IB, there is a limited number of upper management roles in the Houston area. The worklife balance can tip unfavorably depending on which team you belong to. There is relatively constant pressure to reduce costs, specifically headcount. The year interranking process rewards the top performers well but can be brutal for those at the opposite end.
