J.P. Morgan reviews

Conservative policies when it comes to WFH (only 50/50 will be possible) No cafeteria or lunch card Expensive underground parking

The development environments available to do your job are by far the worst I have ever used in my life. You are denied basic permissions such as deleting desktop icons and everything you need to access is on internal resources that fail to load the first few times. They started me off on a Windows 7 VM and eventually gave me a Windows 10 VM but in order to use the Windows 10 VM you had to open it through the Windows 7 VM... can't make this stuff up. The Win10 environment ended up being useless because, despite the sub company I work for being part of JPM Chase, it still has a separate domain that the new environment didn't have access to. So every dev on my team, set up this new environment just to find out it was not usable and go back to our derelict Win7 setups. They force internal tooling on you for installing needed applications such as Postman and offer no support when things don't work. My helpdesk tickets are often auto-closed and tagged with comments completely irrelevant to the issue forcing me to re-open then. When a ticket it finally picked up by a person, weeks later, they usually also immediately close it and tell you that can't do anything about it. All in all, it's astounding that anyone gets any work done in this environment and, truthfully, quite a number of the developers I work with don't. They are forever just reporting blockers at the daily scrum. So they through even more developers at the project who are, in turn, constantly working against the very tools we are handed to do the job.
