IBTech - Avoid at all costs!
Pros: - JPMorgan is a solid brand to have on your résumé.
- Ability to work from home.
- You will learn to hold your breath while going to the bathroom.
- You will get good experience, opportunities to work on cutting edge technology and opportunities to work on multimillion dollar projects.
Cons: - Absolutely zero employee loyalty.
- Disgusting facilities - bathrooms are perpetually filthy.   Ever seen a urinal turn into a fountain?  This company cares so little about its employees that they neglected the building until that actually happened.
- You will always be just an expense and treated as such.
- No training - tons of lip service about increasing training but never any action (common theme).
- Mobility is really just the opportunity to work on a slightly different project. No real opportunities to expand your career or do different types of work.
- When compensation time rolls around no matter how many billions the bank makes there will always be some line about how it's "tough times."
- This place should be considered just a job and not a career. If you're not in NYC or London then you are treated as a second class citizen, which is just marginally better than how they treat the "offshore" employees.  Do your time and get out.
- For as often as JPMorgan is ranked as a great place to work that ABSOLUTELY does NOT apply to IBTech.  Do not be fooled by any of the "investment bank" nonsense they spew at you during an interview.
