great place to work, esp. to start your career
Pros: - great people culture; investment banks in general are notorious for their harsh environment, the JPM is somewhat an outlier in this respect, for it's focus on a longer-term sustainability and "doing the right thing" also affects the relations culture and how people treat each other - friendly, helpful, teamworking
- some very bright people work here
- good place to learn how things should be organized - infrastructure, teamwork, etc (again due to the Bank's focus on "doing things right")
Cons: - not a good place to make a lot of money
- lack behind the competition in the tech innovations (FinTech, bigdata technologies, etc); although the company focus on innovation and creation, it is more successful in innovation in the traditional financial/economic areas (products, services, etc), it still behind the recent IT tech breakthroughs - it's just too big and too long-term oriented to react that fast for the fast paced IT innovation.
