JPMorgan Chase & Co. Softwaretest Engineer Reviews

Likes

Nothing was good.

Dislikes

The company policy is highly questionable, as it appears to be influenced primarily by the ED and VP. They seem to have unchecked authority and can terminate employees at will, often without prior notice. The workplace is plagued by poor management and toxic office politics. I would strongly advise against joining this organization if you value your mental well-being and are serious about building a career in software development....Read More

Hike are bad, suddenly they unofficially rollout a policy during appraisal cycle, that management has decided to not give anyone the top rating, everyone has doing only satisfactory work. This is biggest b_llshit i have ever seen....Read More

-Hike are average -Employees who are not working good or are too bad both in personality as well as professionality are given way too much leniency which makes it very tough for other employees who are trying to do good for the project. -Office politics are fairly visible from the onshore US teams.

Internal mobility,decent job security, growth opportunities overall company. Overall company policies are good. Off-course depends on project. You should be in a good project under good manager.

Dislikes

CIB SST TA team is pathetic. Worst project of my career. Favouritism. Unbelievably impossible deadlines. Minimum 14 hours work per day continuously. No comp offs no leave policy , always on call, multiple releases per month on weekends, everything is critical. Micromanagement is encouraged. Sometimes i felt even managers were helpless, no option. Only cunning people who blame on others can survive, others will end up messing of their health. You will be low key forced to contribute to company and CIB initiatives even if your project has too much of work and have no time. Developers are treated like labour. Even after working like dog they will still be unhappy, unprofessional, threatening, blaming on easy targets...Read More

Work life balance

Dislikes

One of the worst companies I have ever worked for was JP Morgan. Leadership and other team members make offensive remarks about gender and complexity. When someone takes an unplanned or sick leave, team members often does not react emphatically and don't understand why. What's more surprising is that the leadership encourages this behavior, and if issues are raised, they will ask to ignore them rather than address the problem. It leads to a lack of confidence. Employees will just put in more work even when the leadership is aware that they are dealing with personal issues. I was asked not to take leave while I was coping with the personal loss. The leadership was not helpful when the concerns was raised....Read More

A complete employee friendly organization and the entire management is really approachable. Work-life balance is perfectly balanced, at times one may need to stretch, but organization never encourage it. Salary at par, and great perks given too.

Dislikes

No wfh option available with the recent changes announced by the top management. However flexibility will be given based on personal requirements, fingers crossed.

You can make you personal growth.

Dislikes

Nothing to like much in Jpmc. Very very bad culture. Higher manager never come and talk to you, even if you are VP. your manager feedback is everything. Even your manager also doesnt come and aak foe your bandwidth. He is expecting , you ask for work, you ask everything. There is no documentation of project and manager doesnt bother to create it. Being a VP, still you will be ignored from every mail within the team and manager will say, 'you come and ask, if you see any changes in code'. If your manager is also a VP, then he wil try to promote himself and he will try to ignore you completely ( not including you in project road map mails). And you cant raise this complain to anywhere. There is no concept of skip level meeting. Technical knowledge has 0 importance here. Dont join jpmc and ruin your career just for few more lakhs in sal. Though people are in office, I have seen ED is shouting on some junior in zoom call. There is no team culture here and giving attendance (3/5) just looks like school....Read More

Dislikes

Extreme office politics. You are compelled to compete amongst your own teammates. No good projects. You just keep fixing issues in prod. Strict 5 days WFO. You come back home from office and then work again. The management is old school filled with micromanagers. No amount of mental well-being sessions are worth it and they're all complete BS if you ask your employees to travel to office everyday in traffic....Read More
