JPMorgan Chase

One of the best things about working at JPMorgan Chase was the exposure to cutting-edge technologies. The company’s focus on staying ahead of the curve really gave me the chance to keep learning and growing, especially in automation and testing.

Another great aspect was the opportunities for professional growth. JPMorgan Chase really invests in its people, with plenty of ways to advance in your career. I was lucky to work alongside talented colleagues who pushed me to reach my full potential.

One of the most notable cons was the work-life balance. Like many large organizations, the workload could sometimes be intense, requiring long hours to meet deadlines, which could affect personal time.

Additionally, the variability in management quality across different teams sometimes posed a challenge. While many managers were highly supportive, others lacked experience or were not as engaged in providing guidance and development opportunities.

One of the bigger challenges I faced was the work-life balance. Like many large companies, the workload could get pretty intense at times, with long hours required to meet tight deadlines. This could make it tough to maintain personal time.

Another challenge was the inconsistency in management quality across teams. While I had some fantastic managers who were supportive and provided valuable guidance, there were others who were less engaged. This made it harder to get the development opportunities I was looking for.
