Pros
  • The Software Engineering Program is well built out and helpful in actually training and preparing incoming employees for their position.

  • Competitive pay.

  • Many opportunities: JPMC is both a consumer and investment bank. There are endless opportunities, and it's typically a place described as 'being able to have many different careers at one place'.

Cons

JPMC is a financial institution at the end of the day, not a technology company. So, working in tech for a bank, you realize they are not as fast or up-to-date as other tech companies.

Upper management involves business politics. There were many times I felt like just a number, or my opinion and ideas were undermined by my manager, who was less experienced in engineering.

Advice to Management

The little people matter. Employee happiness directly correlates with productivity and motivation to do well.
