I did some research on Morgan Stanley a few years ago when I applied for a job there, and was surprised to find none of the top people (the members of the Executive Council, or whatever it was called) were engineers. I wasn't expecting much, maybe a CTO, but there was no one at all. It seemed very strange for a company that is heavily reliant on IT.

The closest they had to an engineer in that group was a risk control officer, with a stats background.
