How is the work culture at JPMorgan? Looking to break into the company and wanted to know how does the work life balance look like for technical(swe, engineering) roles? ##engineering #software #jpmorganchase
Company offer great perks apart salary Also People are technically sound Go for it ! Btw what’s your TC or offered pay?
TC is 98k, YOE: 1
Technically sound at JP Morgan? Why did you assumed that?
Stay away from Hyderabad, India location. Very bad work culture. Also they are very far behind from tech companies.
Is it the same for UX design too?
Depends on which business unit. Situation is not good in consumer banking
If you ask here ppl will always sh*t on it because everyone is simping for FAANG and chasing TC completly detached from reality. The truth is it depends on your team. I was on a bad team and now I am on a great team. Culture is great, ppl are nice, wlb what you want it to be
Yeah that makes sense, it seems mostly team dependent, What role are you in?
I am swe, mostly back end.
I worked there two days and quit because everyone on my team was a moron and the culture was coasters that were complacent with being stupid and not working with decent tech.
I am in data & analytics here at JPMC. It is absolutely terrible. The technology is 20 years behind any data driven company (no Macs, no cloud data, no slack). The business stakeholders are very incompetent and pushy. People in my LOB just don’t care since the average tenure for new hires (in the last 5 years) is 1-1.5 years.
That was my experience as a BA as well
How’s this over there at Citi?
Wlb is good, you can legit coast at any level. Normal hours at 8am to 5pm (yes, 9 hour days but most don’t follow and I didn’t either). Skill is pretty lacking, I had teammates who have seen but didn’t truly understand how if-else statements worked. A lot of people from bootcamps (a few are pretty damn good, most are lacking in skill). I just attributed it to the fact that most college graduates have 4x the coding experience bootcampers have. Thanks to JP, I got rid of my imposter syndrome and jumped ship after a few months. JP is okay, but if you have any kind of ambition then maybe aim higher.
The honest comment is right here. This is exactly how I feel. You can overcome your imposter syndrome at JPMC quickly.
This is spot on. It's a place to live another day and earn another (little) dollar, but not to grow professionally. Ergo, not recommended for young professionals
As somebody said sometime ago: it's a ROAD company -- Retirement on Active Duty
If you’re fresh out of college, avoid Athena teams imo. I think they’re entirely in the CIB lob. You’ll be working on boring outdated shit lacking documentation, not learning anything at all or both. From talking to other people, there are good teams in other areas but Athena struggles to maintain people
Thanks for the info, how do you decide which team to get into? Do we have have an option to choose teams?
If you’re in the SEP you get to choose which lob you join and then meet the manager of a hiring team before joining
How about CIB divison?
It depends on which part of CIB. They are the earners of the company and rat all leech off them. But like someone posted above : don’t go in teams which have Athena else you will decay
Its in securites services specifically. Not sure about team Athena
Pay is 🗑️ for a swe at a bank. Don't bother -- go to an actual tech company
