JPMC GTI   Technology group - Hell inside a bank
Pros: Overall company environment globally
free food.
Cons: No work life balance , too much of work load and not paid as per industry standard. shld forget about family and other side of life.No work from home option. Strictly no ..... 
No Job security  -  Teams are formed on short team -max 2 yrs , on completion of project , teams will be dismantled . jobs for members in a project is a big  question mark next. members will be sent out with one month pay to search jobs outside. every year jpmc recruits 90k people on board , being 200 yrs old company emp count across globe is 2 lac till now. so   calculating resource cut every year with common sense is easy. 

unwanted management layers , unwanted managers   : Multiple layers of management for even silly things, a person - employee   should satisfy offshore  and functional managers. also  top level management  for which they  have many people wasting company money and resources. for a small team there are ED , multiple VPs . Instead they can take out EDs who consumes   4 times of tech architects or VPs. Give authority to immediate managers to evuluate emp . Dual reporting makes more complicated in performance management. An employee should prove their work  to all management teams - functional and offshore India . just to show case industry standard , jpmc follow agile in GTI , which never brought any change in last 2 yrs.management team enjoys their own sweet time in planning  and to survive in the name of strategy meetings. 
No technology upgrade  : management takes very  long  time in deciding technology changes. opportunities are given only to onshore team in US and UK. India team is only a back office data entry team , to dump unwanted  non tech jobs.the  front end core teams who manages tech decision and implementation  are onshore team. 
Offshore managers and ED s are  slaves to accept all instructions from onshore and use Indians as a scape goat for their survival. 
ED in technology group  knows  on how to survive in this bank by  using employees career  life(firing  them) in india as a scape goat. By this technique they save their own jobs every year.  Instead of doing this betrayal work for foreign people they can do some other illegal business  alone or with their family  members to survive and earn money.
