A good company
Pros: JP Morgan Chase is very conservative and stable company.
They do their best to make calculated and careful decisions.
They have alliances with government in order to secure their interests and longevity.
JP Morgan Chase does the best it can to take care of their customers.
Jamie Dimon is an extraordinary leader and business man. The company is blessed to have captain the corporation.
Cons: The following may not really be considered a con, but rather just how they do business and treat their employees in which case in the perception of an employee may be viewed negatively.
At JP Morgan Chase efficiency is king or at least they strive for it. When I say efficiency does not necessarily mean efficient polices, but rather in organizational structure and how effective you are doing your job. Each year you will give account of your value to the company by listing your accomplishments, goals and more. Basically each year you have to justify why you should continue to work there or that's what it amounts too. They compare this against you and your peers or what is out there in the industry. If it appears that you are lagging behind or this job is just paycheck, then you are candidate to be laid off.

JP Morgan Chase is very self conscious about how the public views them. Reputation is vital asset to their company. A lot things they do must meet the muster of political correctness and legal safeguards. As an employee you will constantly undertake yearly affirmations via computer based training promising to be good an ethical human being, which is not bad thing.

Security is another vital asset the company which they take very seriously, but I wont go into the details of that because of the internal nature of the topic.

Two kinds of people who are successful in this company:
You are very good people person and have mastery in social skills.
You may not be a leader but you are excellent follower adhere to policy and protocol without deviation.
..and both of these two type must not show signs of inefficiency. If you can do that you will either go along way or maintain a stable income.
