Good stable company, but bureaucratic environment puts a large weighting on politics
Pros: JPMorgan is a secure and stable place to work. Great for recent grads as the companies rigid framework is well defined creating well defined roles among superiors and peers. Extremely large company is great for networking. JPM brand name looks great on a resume.
Cons: Not bad for everyone, but strict bureaucratic policies makes career advancement difficult without a focus on politics. Merit based accomplishments tend to go unnoticed without campaigning yourself. This is usually fine, but can be extremely impeding if you have an indifferent or lazy superior. Company attempts to standardize most business processes creating a mundane environment.
