my dad worked there as MD & left - hated it. grown too big too fast, perks are really stingy, industry groups are ultra-specialized. slow years, they emphasize the firm's commitment to family, to give you an idea...

 

thanks for the info....

i was looking at the league tables( US & global) for the past two or three years, and JPm is right up there in the top3-4 in practically every category.....

Why do you say that they are growing too big too fast? and by the firms commitment to family do you mean employee's families or just the organization as a whole......

I think you have to look at it by group...some groups at JPM are known for being really tough (meaning they work your to the ground on sometimes shitty deals) while others have a strong reputation.

If you want to make an educated decision, first decide whether you want to work for a big financial services company like JP versus working for a stand alone IB like GS or MS (prestige not withstanding). If you decide that you like the big bank, I would say JPM is at the top of the list.

Comparing the IB at JPM versus the stand alone banks is tough, but at the end of the day its going to be a personal decision, so talk to some analysts there and ask them about their experience.
