Associate Software Engineer • Former Employee
Pros: You have the opportunity to switch roles. It's a process, but you have to wait a year.
They match 401k.
They have sites where there are a lot of training videos with all sorts of technologies.
Their Agile methodology works, but one thing to note is very poor communication between managers and employees. So be careful, make sure to ask lots of questions.
Also, many times they make promises about what the role will be, but it's a completely different role, and this happens a lot, sadly.
It's a big company, but that's no excuse when the CEO always mentions employees first. So be aware of that.
Compensation is very poor. They don't look at market value, and you can't negotiate. So make sure with your experience and skillsets you are compensated well.
It's not the money that's key here, but Chase showing they appreciate the millions of dollars you save them.
Cons: Like I said in the pros:
Their agile methodology works, but one thing to note is very poor communication between managers and employees. Lots of managers don't take their time to help you succeed and give you advice.
I read a quote once about how a great leader needs to genuinely care about the success of their team, and it's sad to say many managers don't look out for their employees and give them the resources to grow. But please do note that's not all the managers at Chase.
With pay, they don't look at market value, so their pay is poor. Every year, they just give a few thousand raise and bonus, even though you did amazing. It's impossible to negotiate your pay with them also.
Lastly, when you are either joining Chase or switching roles internally, come prepared to ask lots of questions on what your day-to-day will be, so you can be in a role you will be happy with. The most important thing with your job is coming into work happy and leaving work stress-free, and not thinking or worrying about work after hours. It's just bad for your health, and I've come across so many instances where employees quit because of that scenario as well.
