Pros

Pay is good. Very diverse employment strategy. If you find the right team with a manager invested in developing their team then it can be a great place to have a career. Internal moves are relatively easy so finding a team you want to be in is doable.

Cons

Many staff are hired in the Product and Agile space without a properly defined role or set of responsibilities. The politics of this space can be detrimental because of this. Often people are hired to boost the profile of a manager having a larger team without great need. J.P.Morgan excels at hiring people from all backgrounds but some bad directors set diversity quotas on workforces which can make majorities feel undesired and minorities feel undermined.

Pros

I loved working at Chase in Home Equity and First Mortgage. Decent pay, decent managers that were supportive.

Cons

The business credit card department is an absolute nightmare - avoid! We got moved around due to housing market changes. Understandable but they also made it seem like it was going to be the best thing that could happen to us. Told us we wouldn’t be answering calls and then it was full blown call center. It was the literal worst. Most unorganized, unsupportive, dumpster fire of a department.
