The Role
The strengths of JP Morgan Technology are its culture, and the autonomy and responsibility given to new joiners. However, the weaknesses are the type of work received, which involve around mundane development, doesn't leverage new technologies and doesn't try to disrupt. It is more about technology in a bank rather than financial technology. The issue is not fundamental to JPM but the banks emphasis on stability. I also would've appreciated a greater exposure to front office business functions and financial knowledge.
My team consisted of 3 other interns. Being at the same junior level made it easy to communicate and trust each other. Our work was appreciated as it brought great value to colleagues in the horizontal teams.
I felt that after the first month, the tools and skills that were being developed were too niche and only useful for the task at hand.
The Company
Most days were dull.
The firm asked us about our preferred line of work but it feels like that wasn't taken into consideration.
It would be great to be in a financial function within the bank.
