I'm also at JPMC and (at least in my department) it's definitely not bring-your-own-device friendly - and as someone who wholeheartedly prefers using a Mac, I feel like I had to bend over backwards to get my PC in a state to where I was halfway efficient and comfortable developing on it.

Nowadays, in all domains of sellside finance, compliance completely rules the roost, and is snuffing out all initiative.
