Great people
Pros: Everyone in the Digital Consumer Experience department was great: kind, talented, supportive, interesting, etc. Almost everyone really cared about creating good products.

Great work/life balance, with an emphasis on life.
Cons: Lots of bureaucracy, lots of technical issues with the equipment and getting things authorized. As a contractor, I filled in three timesheets (two for Chase, one of which was named Clarity. It must have been named ironically because it was one of the most frustrating interfaces I've ever encountered). Politics and the size of the organization meant some decisions filtered down to us with little to no explanation of their rationale. Also, salaries offered were significantly lower than salaries in tech in San Francisco in general.
