Positive
Pros: There is a always something for you to work on and ALWAYS something where you can add value.  Projects are always in the pipeline and/or listed on the Book of Work for the year. You can ADD VALUE if given the appropriate amount of time (or you make the time/contacts) to do so.  GREAT environment with supportive management.
Cons: Wonderful opportunities at JPMC to recommend change(s). There is however not enough effort/time/resources allocated to the Lessons Learned phase to make impactful changes.  Although a number of process improvements/enhancements may be proposed during the Lessons Learned project phase, due to the strict timelines and work demands, many of the recommendations do not make it into the next project and ultimately the same resource/time constraints become a recurring theme.  It would be beneficial to have senior project teams/members do a deeper dive on top recommendations in order to review, monitor, and provide metric driven reports to management, in order to monitor the value (or lack thereof) of "Lessons Learned" recommendations being made and structure future processes based off of value added suggestions.  Otherwise, it's a WONDERFUL place to work.  So happy I am employed by JPMC and Jamie Dimon is a "ROCK STAR".  One of the best (if not the absolute best) CEO.
