I’ve spent five years at JP, and that’s more than enough. There are no real opportunities for advancement - no clear path for career growth. It’s easy to get stuck unless you play office politics and kiss up, and that’s just not me. The work has been exhausting, the expectations unrealistic, and the overtime excessive. I’m more than ready to move on. With a severance payout, hopefully.

when you interview make sure you interview with everyone on the team
also ask for the people above the manager in the chain of managment
and see if you notice something unusual
I joined a bad team so I have to jump around in order to get advancement or leave, but finding that one good team is not easy. I get jealous when everyone in a team smiles unlike me who is f miserable. I am looking for external opportunities.
I'm genuinely relieved I no longer work there. As an American recruited by JPMC HR to join what was advertised as a “diverse” software development team, I expected to collaborate with fellow Americans from various backgrounds and walks of life. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The team turned out to be 95% H1B visa holders from India or Nepal, and was tightly micromanaged by a manager from Bengaluru. Within the first month, it became painfully clear I had made a serious mistake joining this organization.
I tried to push through, but the situation only deteriorated. The lack of competency, attention to detail, and adherence to best practices was astonishing. It became evident that many had advanced in their careers through nepotism, not merit. In the end, their idea of success was simply cobbling things together until it worked—never mind whether it was stable, efficient, or even remotely optimized.
Likewise. Go ahead JD, make my day!
People being expected to do their jobs is now asking too much. I hate this place sometimes.
Take me to your boss chica as i want your job!!!
