J.P. Morgan reviews

Oh where do we start? There we go: - Hiring bar wasn't as high as I thought, so many disqualified and incompetent people join - Horrible culture of fear! Everybody comes in earlier than the start time of the day and work hard, being quiet, with no interest to stand out, hoping they're not next - Firing: They fire and layoff people left and right every couple of months and nobody knows the rationale behind it. In about a year more than 10 in my team had to leave this way. - There's a hierarchy (Associate, VP, ED...etc.). You won't be respected by VP levels if you're an associate. Want them to listen? maybe if you become a VP too. If you're not based in NY, then forget it - Extremely poor management in terms of decision making and the culture they create for the team - Collaboration is ZERO. Only a couple of individuals make the "wrong" decisions - Global team but isn't truly global. If you're not the US, you're considered a "helper". - Bullying. Yes, outright bullying and if you complain, you'll get in trouble. They have a training that tells you to report this behaviour. But don't be stupid and do that, specially against those being the manager's favourites, because that's when you'll get in trouble (and probably fired like the others who did). - They keep training employees on the "Culture of Respect", but you don't see this being applied by the managers. It's just a training that gets trashed at the end of the day. - Team work is non-existent and not even encouraged - Very little training budget. Surprisingly it's a big bank! - The team is big, so exposure, interesting work and opportunities to learn are limited, and you focus on a tiny slice of the work assigned to the team.

1. If u can butter up your manager,then it's s best company to join. 2. No fair process in the year end review 3. At the time of hiring, HR will paint a picture that you will be getting high bonus and benefits. In reality, it won't be even a single digits percentage of what mentioned at the hiring time. 4. Micromanagement and EDs note down the employee in/out time, lunch/snacks break duration. 5. Anyone can give any review for you and you will need to explain it. Creates a unnecessary competition between peers and same level peers are asked to give the review anonymously. 6. No work life balance. Working here is like you are a animal, and your manager can call you and ask you to work at 1am also. 7. Just the maintenance work and nothing new to learn or to code. 8. Even if the employee has met a serious accident, they would still expect the employee to come to office and work for them. Else they will take it out in your year end review. 9. Managers don't have the guts to say anything about you in your face, but will go around and tell about you all bad and incorrect things in front of everyone when you are not around. 10. For India employees, the meetings are always scheduled at late night which are of comfortable time for other regions. The meeting timings should be equally well balanced for all the regions involved. 11. Employee are expecting to not have any personal life even after working hours and weekends and can be asked to work on weekends (with no extra appreciation or benefits)
