      Pros

      Morgan Stanley is a great place to work because it provides a motivated team environment, with ample opportunity for advancement, and lots of access to clients early in your career. The company also offers a good compensation policy and competitive benefits relative to its peers. Employees are self starters and intelligent from junior levels to senior levels. In my experience, the firm provides great access to senior team members. More of a team approach than at many other banks - everyone works together across divisions to achieve the best results for clients.

      Cons

      As in most banking positions, working at Morgan Stanley in investment banking requires long hours and a lack of schedule predictability.

      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!
