A good employer but high pressure environment
Banking Professional (Former Employee) - Bournemouth - 9 August 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI 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
Business Banking Officer (Former Employee) - Nairobi-Lunga Lunga Branch - 4 January 2019
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

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.

temp
Administrator (Former Employee) - london - 10 August 2017
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

CSA Controller (Former Employee) - Bournemouth, Dorset - 18 May 2017
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.

Not recommended, unless you want to devote your life to them.
Derivatives ops. (Current Employee) - Chaseside - 7 August 2016
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....
