Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Working at J.P. Morgan has been a great experience and has offered unparalleled training.
Pros: -Phenomenal job training through the initial structured training program, continued learning opportunities and the opportunity to work with so many other talented individuals
-Excellent compensation
-Great access to senior bankers
-Given a large amount of responsibility even as an analyst
Cons: -Senior bankers are promoted solely based on ability to bring in revenue, not on actual leadership ability or managerial skill which tends to translate into work processes being inefficient (Maybe not specific to the firm, seems to be an issue in IB anywhere)
-Work/life balance is nonexistent (again, generally an issue in IB at any firm)
-Colleagues are hypercompetitive to an alarming degree
