General Assessment
Pros: 1) As a large company, J.P. Morgan Chase can offer opportunities to do many different things and the bank has gotten better at supporting internal mobility. 

2) The bank has resource groups to support different groups and interests - women, young professionals, etc. The BRGs provide opportunities to get involved and network.

3) J.P. Morgan Chase also has a very strong brand recognized around the world.
Cons: 1) As a very large company, the environment can be very different across the firm depending on your line of business, management, and location. Compensation and promotion rewarded for doing a great job and working hard seem very inconsistent.

2) For advancement opportunities, it’s critical that you align yourself with a supported line of business and supportive management in your location. You need to be savvy to recognize your environment and work to change teams/roles if needed.

3) In early 2015, the bank got strict with the work from home policy.
