Pros: Great pay, an amazing team. Recruiters and events are amazing.

Cons: Chance your team is not so great, but that's every internship.

Pros: Working at JPMorgan over the summer was very interesting to me. I did not find that there was a tremendous expectation to complete volumes of work. Your experience really depends upon your manager, since the company is gigantic (>300,000 employees, across multiple timezones). But in my case, I found that the culture of work attributed success to how well you were following rituals rather than any specific measure of output/impact. The goal is to fit in. It is almost nonsensical how real useful output varied across interns. In the end, a majority of the interns received return offers. The work-life balance appears to be pretty good, although this will depend on your manager. There are some very skilled senior engineers who are very helpful and willing to explain and teach you things. I found my team to be very supportive and collaborative. Additionally, I like the fact that JPMorgan is attempting to embrace AI.

Cons: Probably a majority of the work is actually very dull. It would not inspire you.

Pros: Program for engineers out of college, with structured support through mentorship and events.

Cons: Low pay, inflexible work environment, bad management. Tech employees are not respected.
