Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former

Bank One and Chase still divided... 5 years on
Pros: As a company JPMC provides opportunities for advancement, growth, training and mobility.
As a company JPMC affords good salaries, good bonus, good pensions/401k
but......
Cons: All decisions are at the whim of your manager, or the manager above them.
And I use the word whim as there is never any logic behind the major decisions, it's what ever which senior exec decides at the time, be this site strategy, platform choice, off shoring etc
None of the decisions are made with any facts or bearing on reality, senior managers are just trying to keep their senior execs happy/passive/quiet

The investment bank arm of the firm now run all departments and they are bringing in more of them from other banks, this would be ok if they had any sight to the future, but they seem to be more intent on this quarters bonus and not next years growth.
