Pros

Great benefits.

Many great people to work with.

Good opportunities if you know the right people.

Competent CEO - Jamie Dimon is a sharp guy.

Cons

Chicago offices are ruled by a good-ole boy mob of middle managers.

Sacrifices and substantive contributions are nothing compared with covering the mistakes of middle management and making them look good before their superiors.

Work-life balance is a joke to middle management seeking fame and glory.

Software engineers, beware – business and management are married to a waterfall mentality.

Advice to Management

Overhaul your review process. You cannot have incompetent managers scapegoat veteran employees and expect to continue to attract/maintain professional talent.
