JPMorgan Chase

Reasonable pay, with good benefits.

Inhumane treatment of staff. In the time I was there, most of my coworkers were contractors who were let go and rehired with little rhyme or reason.

Teams were shuffled around every few months. My manager was understandably upset about the tampering with his work from more senior staff.

The company is very trend-focused, chasing short-term gain and market position to the exclusion of everything else. I received good reviews and large bonuses throughout my time at JPMC, until other companies began laying off tech workers. I was cut in a large layoff one month after receiving positive reviews and a $5,000 performance bonus, probably to be replaced by a contractor who they could get away with paying less.

Begin to value your employees. It has to be cheaper in the long run to maintain a workforce than keep up with this rate of turnover.
