Pros

- Great collaborative culture between teams. You can reach out to pretty much anyone in any Morgan Stanley office and they will usually happily oblige. - Mobility between teams is often facilitated

Cons

- Lack of anonymous feedback opportunities for contingent workers. I was the only full time worker in a team of other contingents in Glasgow, who had no recourse to yearly anonymous feedback for their managers, like full time workers too. This resulted in their grievances not being addressed for quite a long period of time, especially given that the contingent workers did not know other senior people in the team (all of whom were located outside of Glasgow) whom they could reach out to.

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!
