Company: J-P-Morgan

Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Front-office trading desk role
Pros: Early direct responsibilities, one of the biggest players in practically every market, good opportunities for training and development, decent pay, low stock to cash ratios
Cons: Hugely political and bureaucratic, you really are part of the corporate machine. "Meritocratic" pay is subject to whatever is going on in the rest of the bank and the industry, clearly true of any bank but with one as big as this your own contributions matter less in the big picture.
