      Pros

      So initially, working at Morgan Stanley is like a dream. Great resume booster, very corporate job. It's easy to get in the door and WANT to do well to advance your career. They offer a work from home option good for snow days, or if you're sick and approved. Also, you get 4 weeks of vacation time, a week of sick time, as well as holidays. There is a structured advancement ladder, so everyone gets a chance. Compensation is competitive as well.

      Cons

      You have to pay for parking, no flexibility. Very hard to get a raise, some people going 2-3 years without a pay increase.

      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!
