JPMorgan Chase

All the benefits are now slowly being removed. So, no pros.

Only transportation is good.

1. Being a coder, you will forget how to write code as work is very monotonous and always revolves around migration. There is nothing to work from scratch.

2. If you let management suck your blood day in and day out, only then can you survive in this organization.

3. Management is the worst; nobody actually cares for you. However, if you can become your manager's favorite, that's a different case altogether.

4. Layoffs happen in the name of "Organization Restructuring" without any justification or prior input. They will pay you a severance amount and provide three months to do an IJP or look externally, without any negotiation on the notice period. But trust me, there is no justification behind it, and nobody here cares about the employees. You will only find employees who have stayed for a longer time, those who joined JPMC as freshers or interns. You can only survive here if you don't know how other companies work. If you believe JPMC is your only option, then you will somehow survive here.

5. Ratings are intentionally given as "Growth" so that you can become prey to layoffs next time and can be thrown out of the company.

6. When I joined the company, I was told about remote work opportunities. Then they forced us to do it hybrid, with strictness of at least 60% attendance, while they don't have space to accommodate us.

7. The WFH equipment benefit has been changed from three years to five years without any prior notice.

8. Food variety has become limited and costlier after the new office opening. Live counters have been stopped.

9. Sodexo, internet bill amount, everything has been added above salary, which in turn has obviously become taxable now.

10. Work-life balance is a joke here; forget it once you join this company. Nobody cares.

The list goes on; this is all I can remember right now.

Stop favoritism and keep a strict check on managers and EDs.
