Working at JPMorgan in New York City, NY: 43 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York City, NY Area

"I've worked at JPMorgan Chase for 4.5 years now and have found it's size to be a challenge to get things done. I am always focused on delivery and it has been frustrating not being able to deliver."

"I've been working at JPMorgan Chase for the past 4 years, even though the compensation matches the market the job tends to be monotonous and boring, I work in a part of the company of which I am an expense and the traders and counterparts keep reminding us that. I believe a better management steam is needed for the company to be a better fit for current times."

"I worked at Chase for 2 years as a personal banker. While I think they are a great company, they just are oblivious to what customers actually want or need and don't seem to realize when things they should make a change."

"Great experience in quantitative strategy on credit derivatives products."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Try to utilize the strength of everyone and appreciate the strengths in the business."

"I am working with them since 2009. Good place to learn business domain, not a place if you consider yourself technologist. Lots of paperwork and bureaucracy, so you need to understand them to get your job done."

"JP Morgan has a good working environment for a large firm, with good benefits."

"I have worked for JPMC since August 2012. Throughout that time, I have worked in a couple of different business areas. There has also been a lot of management and employee turnover. Some of that can be attributed to the firm's commitment to internal mobility, a program in which many employees participate."

"JPM Chase is very profitable and competitive with salary. Benefits are not as good as other financial firms. There is a lot of movement but usually lateral."

"I've worked at JPMC for about 6 to 7 months now. Coming from a background in systems engineering I was a little bit underwhelmed by my role and responsibilities. I applied for a position as a Linux Systems Engineer and was told I would instead be doing Infrastructure Support. My day to day job is helping developers troubleshoot new code deployments to the continuous delivery environment ( dev, test, qa ). Occasionally we also participate in code deployments using Jenkins. The primary responsibility of the role is to identify root causes and prevent them from occurring again. I was not feeling very challenged by this opportunity so I started writing some code to automate some of the job's toil using shell, PowerShell, and Python. This was well received by my managers and my position slowly changed into a development role. Ive been happier since my responsibilities changed, but ultimately I don't intend to stay here for very long."

"Strong pay, strong culture of success, very top heavy so advancing might be difficult."

"POS: The people are great. You can approach anyone you want to talk to, network with colleagues through a quick search. Lunch breaks are real. NEG: The job is repetitive despite looking at a different business area every 3-4 months. There are many layers of clearance from the planning to final execution. Slow advancement opportunities and below average pay. The employees are very silo (given the 270k global employees), and may require a lot of back and forth to get to the appropriate contact."

"Huge overgrown firm with little communication between groups. Politics drives decisions and not business deliverables. Employees and clients suffer as a result."
