Pros
The name, brand, and saying you working at Morgan Stanley make people notice it on the resume. Other than that there is no advantage as far as pay or career advancement is involved. Management is involved with a lot of nepotism.
Cons
The environment is a sweatshop where you work over 12 hours per day with little to no reward. You can work on weekends no effect. There are small groups within MS that are spectacular but, again, you need a connection to get in. The majority of the firm is run as fiefdoms where there is a lack of foresight to a singular goal. The bad part is there is a ton of cronyism and nepotism involved where if you don't belong to a certain stereotype that is prevalent in a group, then you don't advance.
