JPMorgan Chase

Working for a behemoth like JPMC certainly has its perks. I appreciate the instant name recognition of working at such a well-known firm. Having a health clinic on my campus is a great perk.

JPMC draws some of the brightest people I have ever worked with. Even the interns are top-notch. Salaries and benefits are competitive. There are many intangible benefits that make it a good place to work.

It is easy to get lost in such a large company, just like one more grain of sand on the beach. The competition is fierce. Meaning, it's hard to stand out when you're surrounded by rockstars. We are returning to the office 5 days a week. I think most of us knew this was coming, but most of us hoped it wouldn't.

I think the timing of recent announcements has made management seem a little tone-deaf.

Announcing RTO right before announcing mostly flat comp increases has got everyone in the office unmotivated. And Employee Engagement will come out soon, too.

I keep hearing you want us to collaborate with our teammates in person, but most of my team works in other offices and there is no option for us to gather once or twice a year for in-person meetings. I literally come to the office to sit on Zoom with my coworkers in other parts of the country – and sometimes internationally.
