Good company to be from, less interesting to work for
Pros: -Stable company as the leader within the industry
-Respectable bonus structure compared to many other industries
-I respect the fact that JPM did not have large layoffs during the COVID pandemic
Cons: -Promotes people into management positions based on individual performance and not on leadership - leads to managers who are incapable of delegating, communicating thoughts, or helping to professionally develop their subordinates
-The company publicly advocates career mobility, but it usually that employees seeking roles in other teams are told they don't have enough experience in their specific business group - even if it is within the same job function. It's possible to overcome, but a challenge to find the right hiring manager
-The firm seems very eager to resume life as normal, although the vast majority of employees are still working from home 11 months into the pandemic, it does not seem likely that in the post-pandemic world, a flexible WFH schedule will be allowed
