JPMorgan Chase

Incredibly nice people. I have yet to encounter someone that was not genuinely kind and helpful.

Decent starting compensation (over market, but nowhere near FAANG).

Established company creates a pretty soft landing for a first dev role.

Access to a truly absurd number of trainings, and the education benefit is above par.

Legacy code and tech is not cutting-edge.

In-office requirements, despite there being absolutely no reason to be in the office (the office is nice, though; there's just no reason to be there).

The normal bureaucracy that comes with such a large company.

While I realize that it is not up to individual managers, there needs to be additional flexibility for remote work. The policy as it stands comes across as a little insulting and distrustful. It's pretty established at this point that employees are more effective while working from home, so I find the policy to be detrimental and confusing.
