Pros

Culture of the company is great. Business users will usually be engaged and constructive. Lot of opportunities if you're in the right team/location.

Cons

At a very fundamental level conservative technology decisions are made that impact the whole firm. This is understandable given the highly regulated nature of the company and the large nature of the company. But it can feel like you're spending a lot of time learning to do things the Morgan way with their very proprietary tech stack. Also there are the usual problems with technology in the Finance industry generally being treated as lower tier citizen of the firm.

Cons

High Goals to reach in FA program. But they do all they can to prepare you. Most is up to you . Getting all the exams passed can be challenging if your not used to doing this.
