Pros

The badge -- you are at Morgan Stanley. If you like to be around younger people -- this is like high school, age-wise.

Cons

The management is addicted to docile Indian laborers. Management is dis-interested in your strengths or your career development. Their ideal employee is a robotic creature devoid of any interests, fast, doesn't have any new ideas, doesn't ask any questions. Management is not secure or very competent and actively competes with sub-ordinates. Management is addicted to their personal cult which comes easy with Indian laborers but is weird for the few Americans that are hired. You didn't go to college for this - steer clear.

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!
