A good employer but high pressure environment

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
I worked for this company for 10 years. It’s a really demanding environment with high levels of pressure as you would expect in this industry. High standard of work is expected but there is a lot of training and development opportunities. I personally got to work in Singapore and Mumbai which was life affirming. I also got to lead a team and introduced an initiative of my own. However the work can be difficult and errors punished. If things aren’t going well you will be pressured to resolve that or leave. That’s not unusual for this industry. Overall I have much more praise for this employer than negativity

Pros

Good opportunities for career and personal development

Cons

Long hours, bank holiday working and really high expectations

Good

I enjoyed each day at work. I was able to learn many skills especially to do with the entire business lending and more so trade finance. The management was good from the top to line managers. My hardest part of the job was on convincing unwilling clients to join my bank if they had their own perceived fears. I enjoyed mostly when clients I served were satisfied and happy.

Pros

An outgoing and supportive management team

Cons

Promotions not based on merits but on whom you knew or who brought you

good place to work

learnt a lot of new things during my time at chase and people there were very welcoming and made you feel at ease. It was a great experience and skills I gained from there I will use for the rest of my life.

Extremely busy and fun productive workplace.

Supporting and working directly with foreign exchange traders where every day would be different. Work hard and play hard culture. Management were part of the trading team. Hardest part of the job was ending the day with a positive profit and loss figure. Being my first experience on a trading floor I developed good communication skills with staff and all external clients.

Pros

Regular team bonding events, free lunches.

Cons

Long Hours

temp

I was only temping her for a very short period so I don't feel I can provide a very good review. It seemed a very nice place to work and the full time permanent salary probably was very reasonable.

Pros

nice professional environment

Cons

has a lot of temp staff

Professional Financial Advisory Service

Taking phone calls from company pension members who are being offered the option to sacrifice inflationary increases for a one off immediate uplift in there existing pension. Ability to simplify and advise a member whether it was in their best interests to accept or decline the offer based on a regulated methodical questioning approach. Good job satisfaction as all customers welcomed an empathetic voice.

na

A generous company but they want their pound of flesh. Work culture is very London-like. Good canteens and tennis courts on-site. Job security is an issue.

Queit, pressuered office

A quiet but busy office, very pressured team with many different characters. A variety of tasks to be completed and different times of the day, deadlines to be met.

Pros

close to home

Cons

a few

Not recommended, unless you want to devote your life to them.

Very long hours, soul destroying, mind-numbing work. I'm a contractor, on what at the start, seemed like a good daily rate. After tax though, I'm actually earning less per hour than in my previous job, where I was working 10 hours a week less. The corporate culture is full of (expletive deleted) and the bureaucracy is unbelievable. The IT system I use for work is appallingly inefficient, frequently logging you out when you are half way through processing something. Their intranet features a load of nonsense almost everyday, and in the short time I've been there, I've had to do about ten different mandatory computer based training courses. The material for each one is on average about 60 pages long, takes about half a day to read, followed by about 10 simple questions. Of course they still expect you to do your daily work around all of that. I'm already looking for another job outside of JPM, as I would be happier working for less money, but in a nicer place. The day I am able to leave cannot come too soon. Summary - JPM is fine if you are young and malleable, but the longer you stay, the more jaded you will become.

Pros

What?

Cons

How long have you got ? Long hours, company ethos and culture, red tape....
