Pros

Morgan is a great place to work for technology enthusiasts. The culture is extremely collaborative. They have centers of excellence where different groups manage different technologies, which allows you to go very deep and gain brilliant expertise working with highly talented individuals.

Cons

Technology in banks works differently. It beats the industry on some efforts which actually make the firm money, like algo trading, while it could seemingly lag behind the industry on other topics due to a general culture of caution. So, make sure you choose a team that deals with technology you love, as you won't be moving away from it into something more recent anytime soon.

Advice to Management

Instill a constant culture of innovation and prove to your employees that Morgan is willing to be on the bleeding edge so their skills will always stay relevant.
