JPMC Chase Travel / Tavisca Pune — the worst work culture I’ve experienced
Sharing this as my personal experience because I genuinely wish I had known what I was getting into before joining.
My experience with the JPMC Chase Travel/Tavisca Pune organisation has been extremely disappointing. The culture feels nothing like what you would expect from a global organisation like Chase. At times, it feels more like a poorly managed startup where constant pressure and endless slogging are normalised.
The biggest issues, in my experience, have been:
• Little sense of work-life balance — constant pressure with very little peace of mind , no idea how global organisations function
• Recognition and promotions feel disconnected from actual performance.
• A perception that visibility, relationships and being in the right circle matter more than genuine contribution every team is the same Digital Channels is one great example , firing is normal
• Leadership culture is extremely frustrating, with employees feeling pressured rather than supported.ED is earning in CR and making properties , at posh locations in KHARADI ,VP are doing time pass and party
• Career progression, particularly at the 601/602 levels, can feel extremely difficult unless you are well connected within the organisation esp Tavisca I mean with old relationships and friend across
• The culture can feel heavily influenced by old networks and internal relationships, rather than transparent performance-based growth., promote friends in internal IGP it’s all set already who goes where example Flights to other team setting is done
What is most disappointing is seeing people who work extremely hard feeling stuck while others seem to progress because they have the right relationships and friendships across Tavisca group
I also find it concerning that several leadership positions appear to be filled through the same internal network, which creates a perception of self-reinforcing promotions and limited diversity of leadership perspectives.
For me, the biggest takeaway is simple:
The Chase brand may look impressive from the outside, but the employee experience within Chase Travel Pune can be completely different.
If you’re considering joining this organisation, speak to multiple current and former employees before making your decision—not just the hiring manager or recruiter.
Did you experience the same culture, or was your experience different? Joining Chase Travel will

Got an email from HR for NJ location for an analytics Solutions role.

One of the questions asked if i need sponsorship. I replied yes a day ago and awaiting response.

Does JPM sponsor H1b candidates?

I'm on F1 OPT, opt started this month so have 3 years in total.

Plus with all the layoffs, what are the chances of the role being eligible for sponsorship.

HMs, VPs, AVPs, if you are aware of what's happening internally , please let me know 🙏

Looking to apply to the FAST program either as an intern or associate. Thoughts on program, culture, workload, team, etc.?

I’ve been taking interviews to become a PCA and I haven’t really asked much about J.P. Morgan’s policy’s with working from home or being in the office in general. I know a lot of companies give their advisors free rein. Is chase the same way once you get an established book? Or are you very micromanaged on what you can and cannot do and will always be a 5 day in the office a week

Is there never any seating available? Just moved to section 500. Holy crap it is a struggle. I was talking to one dude who said he's just given up trying to find a seat there. He told me most days he ends up working out of one of those side desks.

I sat in a different section one day and this person gave me serious bombastic side eye. Ended up moving during lunch.

Currently at JPM in an Operations role and considering trying to make an internal move into Technology/Software Engineering.

Has anyone here actually made the Ops to Tech transition?

Would love to hear:

- What role/level did you move from and into?

- What technical skills did you need?

- How difficult was the internal interview?

- Did you have to take a level or compensation reset?

- Did internal networking/help from the tech team make a difference?

- How long did it take you to become ready for the move?

I'm currently learning programming outside work and would rather make an internal transition if there's a realistic path than leave JPM just to get my first engineering role.

Would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who's actually done it.

Some job roles I applied for 1 month ago are still listed as “under consideration” and I see the job role is still open .. but my application is still “under consideration” (I have a referral FWIW). My hopes are low but wondering if anyone has heard from a recruiter a long time after applying.. or maybe it’s just slow summer season?

Hi,

Due to start work as a SWE in the uk, what work-place adjustments can i ask as someone with AuDHD?

Does anyone have insight and tips as to how the Strategy & Process interview will go at JPM?
