JPM Culture

What groups at JPM have good culture / reasonable WLB ? 

Asking because everything I hear - DI, HC, M&A, FIG, Tech etc all super sweaty and bad culture. I'm exploring trading up firms but not sure if its worth giving up the good culture at current firm.

Interned at JPM last summer, joining FT soon. 

I mean between JPM/GS/MS most of the top groups at all three are going to be sweaty. In terms of culture, having spoke to my friends at GS/MS, I think JPM is the best out of the three. The people at JPM are generally more easy-going and friendlier in my opinion. I know FSG has an amazing culture, a buddy of mine was placed there and he loves it. 

 

Anyone know which groups beside Capital markets groups have decent culture? More concerned about the people. Willing to work rough long hours with the right people.
