JP Morgan Dublin
Pros: Good vibe from the staff, staff and management are usually very helpful, help with tuition fees and time off for study and exams if you're studying for a relevant professional qualification (ACCA, ACA etc)
Reasonable social life in the teams/departments - the management usually try to get you out to mix and let off steam if it has been a high pressured period.
Possibility of some flexitime depending on department and workload/client needs.
Reasonable work-life balance - management in the department will to get everyone out the door on time whenever things are quiet enough to allow it.
Good progression possibilities and the chance to travel does arise from time to time.
Local management show actual gratitude when you go above and beyond to get a job done.
A good benefits package that includes gym membership, private health care, and good pension contributions from the company.
Cons: Long hours - its never 9 to 5, more like 9 to whenever everything is done/the client stops asking for things (you'll almost never leave on time).
Can be very bureaucratic to get anything done if it involves an unrelated team or department, big delays due to having to use off shore teams that go home at 9am your time, although this has been improving
