Prestigious firm with some great opportunities but there are some issues...
Pros: Overall I've encountered great coworkers and  very approachable management (I had exposure to and held  conversations with quite a few lower level MD's over the years).

They do try to encourage continuous learning and are extremely open to internal mobility (I made a move from asset management to the CIB after two years with no issues. you just can't be a poor performer and move..average and above you're good to go)


***note:  I'm not going to bring up money as everyone complains about their comp for every company so what's the point***
Cons: Many of the systems we use a on day to day basis are not built from the ground up and are often not very helpful.   They seem to just add new systems when they need to build new ones from the ground up.

They keep around people who are very poor workers (call out constantly, don't pull their weight etc) which obviously pulls good workers down...prob they're scared to get sued so this may be more of a corporate issue not a JP issue. 

Very poor training and procedure documentation system in the CIB operations area.  

They're hiring temps to save money but the temps are poor workers or leave within a few months 70% of the time.
