Pros

The compensation is better than most Wall St. firms. At Morgan Stanley you will find out quickly that they want to retain their own talent. Most of the big competing firms do not treat their employees as well as Morgan Stanley.

Cons

There are almost always long hours, especially during busy season. Some of the work that you do on a very daily basis is not the most intellectually rewarding. Moving up in the company sometimes has more to do with the amount of hours you put in, rather than your potential.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
