Pros

Brand , Brand ..... nothing much , it add value to resume Canteen - Subsidized food New Faces every month (Hire and Fire Policy)

Cons

No Work life balance . Late night shifts and calls. Regular meetings and calls every day. half of the day goes on meetings and calls. Too much of politics in GTI -technology group , Appraisal are only a name sake game , performance is not looked on yearly accomplishment, it depends on how much a person can influence a manager and be a (hutch) dog who always follows them ,those people will be rated high for bonus and hike. They do lot of team building activities , without having a sense of people management. which is no use. They promote people who are favorable to managers during the events.Which obviously end up in frustration for other employees. Bonus is just an eye wash during recruitment.HR provides fake promises to convince on package. People should not believe them when they join. GTI Technology is an Hire and Fire team , Once a person do not match up with bank environment and managers political game ,immediately on the face they will be insulted every day and cornered till they resign. If a person have good advertising and marketing skills they can survive here even though he/she lack technical skills. A persons technical competency is secondary here , only process and procedures matters, you can win the game and survive for long if you adopt to process.When he/she leaves the company they will be blank on new technology , could not adopt to new tech in other companies. Work and Projects are always short in nature , once the projects are over firing list will be prepared in each team. There is no shuffling and project movement or IJP. Just Hire and Fire rule. By end of 2018 , half of the IT professionals will be fired or lay off due to automation and robotics.Billions of dollars has been spent on automation ,so layoff is on higher side. IT Professionals who are lured by high package from JPMC should rethink of job safety also. They hire with higher package to attract talents , at the same speed they do not hesitate to fire anyone , even if a person is highly skilled and adaptive to different technologies. They should accept external talents and make them comfortable to environment. More than half of IT people in JPMC are in depression due to bad politics and inefficient managers. But why do they work in JPMC even if they are depressed? - Reason behind is no one pays high package apart from JPMC or other banks for their profiles, they have to survive here till they are hired by some other banks to pay loans and other commitments. Managers are 3rd class people , they are not trained on people management. These guys are in JPMC for many years without seeing outside environment . Cheap behavior and low class mentality. They do lot of micromanagement. They monitor on employees desktop screens and monitor the timings we login and logout. Everything will be taken into performance management if they plan for negative review .But this rule is not applicable for manager lovers or followers(hutch dogs). Moreover , for any issues , we can not approach HR , HR comes only on joining and exit. All decision making on an employee are done by managers and Leads. They give open challenge to everyone saying that nothing can be done if we decide on anything. A very open politics , no company can compete on this politics. Chances of bonus depends on managers feedback , if he likes a person bonus will be approved , if not no bonus or hike. I request all viewers to consider my feedback on GTI Technology , my feedback is just a beginning , more feedback's and reviews will follow after me from JPMC Technology division. A mass layoff planned in a silent way for IT Professionals in JPMC India ... Be alert and safe People who receive offers from JPMC rethink twice or thrice to join JPMC technology division.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
