Pros

Great work/life balance. Generally a positive work environment and a focus on team efforts. Training is meaningful and makes for a smooth transition into a successful tenure while at MSSB.

Cons

Unsure about advancement. Most likely due to my lack of relevant experience. Seems like FA's are brought on by connections than hiring/promoting within

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!
