After JPM reaction to COVID-19: do you still want to work there?

I have been reading crazy articles on Bloomberg about JPM responses to the pandemic and how traders are pushed to keep going to the office. I am curious: knowing this, would you still want to be working there? and if you work there, even if you are compensated financially, are you ok with this reaction?

Well, I do think that their response was suboptimal, or portrayed suboptimally in the media. Clearly, if it's being reported on negatively, someone there messed up. Either way, it definitely doesn't affect whether I want to work there this summer or not -- the brand name and resume boost would be extremely helpful to me. They've also come off as very accommodative in intern communications regarding the situation.

Now if I were a 70 year old man with a preexisting lung condition being forced to come in, it would be a different story... but I think the risk/reward is fine for a teenager like myself who can practice social distancing and doesn't have any other job offers lined up.
