JPMorgan Chase

Stable benefits.

Large range of software/projects to work on across the firm.

Mobility culture.

Promotes technical and professional growth.

Prefers soft skills rather than technical skills in entry-level positions out of university.

Very large firm, easy to feel swallowed up or purposeless. Managers vary across the firm; sometimes it feels like a lottery if you land a good one. Salary and benefits are average. The firm likes to call itself a tech company, but as a bank, there's a lot of governance and red tape that stalls innovation and the start-up mentality.

Ensure directs are engaged and actively working on their technical and professional skills outside of BAU work.
