      Pros

      The best reasons to work for Morgan Stanley are the prestige and weight that the name carries with it. Even as an Operations Associate, a middle office role, I found that the name, Morgan Stanley, at the top of my resume opened doors for me and gained me respect. This was invaluable when looking to expand my career and take steps towards a more fulfilling career. Morgan Stanley's management is also a plus as they are highly intelligent people who will do whatever it takes to ensure the best interests of the firm.

      Cons

      Risky business model and somewhat arrogant attitude

      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!
