Pros

The people I met and can't recommend highly enough to work with are from my startup, which was absorbed by JPMC.

Some people are nice in the larger org, but not all.

Cons

Corporate nonsense, having to deal with restructures, consistently unclear requirements, triple checking at every tier in the corporate ladder, and wasting time—all of which I kept being told are "expected."

Though I believe there will always be a mystery to solve in engineering, my experience in this company was consistently confusing for the wrong reasons.
