Pros

The work/life balance at JPMorgan Chase is excellent. They are very flexible when it comes to work needs, life events, and other situations. For instance, I have been working from home for the last 18 months and have found my productivity to be better than ever. This works for my situation because I can perform all my work tasks via telecommuting. This arrangement does not work for everyone, but JPMorgan Chase recognizes that everyone has a unique set of circumstances and tries its best to do what's best for everyone. They also have the best benefit packages I have seen, including vacation, health, and retirement.

Cons

It's a very large company, so there are many bureaucratic things you need to be able to deal with.

Advice to Management

Offshore resources are not the answer management makes them out to be.

Keeping knowledge experts inside the firm will produce a much better end product.
