Anyone here worked at JP Morgan?

[ZARDOZ]

I've been offered an interview there. Didn't one of the main posters on this site work there?
Any views on the place?

There was one whose name nobody remembers but the last we heard he was doing time for crimes against humanity - locked up for life.

Nope you are thinking of JT Marlin, which is where DodgyAgent used to work:

I did almost 2 years for them and I think much depends on what bit you are working and who with. I liked my time there but I was in the IB backwater of reg reporting.

Interesting.

I'm there currently.

This is my second stint.

Usual big corporate atmosphere, some knobs but mostly nice people. Managers vary, hope you get a fair one.

They have just bought in a 1 year max stay policy for contractors, down from 3 years, I managed an exception for 6 months from March, but have been told in no uncertain terms that it will all end in Sept. I have heard there future aim is to be contractor free. Not sure if that is possible, but be aware.

Nice to be out of the politics, bonus grabbing, objective setting and promotion seeking stuff.

Nice new office in Canary Wharf if you can stand the naff commute.

What skillset do you use? PM, Dev, BA?

Hi Scrag Miester! Is the 1 year max stay policy still applies at JP? being interviewed there, not sure if I should give up my current rolling contract.

They had free-beer-Friday and I got to play around on the Internet for the other four days. Paid 100 pounds an hour.

I heard it's gone downhill since they went bankrupt though.

JPM are stange. I know one contractor who has been there since 1988!

It most certainly is, it only came in in January.

2 weeks to go.

That does surprise me as they seem quite intent on implementing the policy fully.

I am sure there is always room for an exception if the business demands it, so not really surprising I suppose.

When I was there they had 3 policies - 2y, 3y and 10y. Is it 1y for everyone now?
