2023 Time Series & Reinforcement Learning Summer Associate Internship (Rolling Intake)

About J.P. Morgan

The financial firm traces its roots back to John Pierpont Morgan, one of the most powerful bankers of his era. Morgan started his financial career in 1857 as an accountant at the New York banking firm of Duncan, Sherman, and Company. From here, Morgan began his banking journey. Fast-forward to the 21st Century, the newly established firm combined Chase Manhattan’s Bank experience in personal and small-business banking work with JP Morgan's specialization in investment banking, government securities, and commercial banking in order to create a diversified financial firm now famously known as J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., marking them as one of the most prominent leaders in retail banking, investment banking, and financial services.

Work-life balance

The Work-life balance is rated 3.5 on Glassdoor. The JPMorgan Chase boss has become the latest financier to worry that his bankers are working too hard for their bonuses. The bank announced an initiative called “Pencils Down”, aimed at helping its employees improve their work-life balance. Previously, young bankers were allowed one work-free weekend a month.
