Pros

The company pay is competitive and benefits are okay. Maternity/Paternity are great as well as Fertility and Surrogate coverage.

Cons

Most bureaucratic company I've worked for. Extremely frustrating how long it takes to get many things done. Systems are outdated. Departments are concerned about defending their territory and doing their narrow view. Proactively working together and making things efficient is not part of the culture, Protecting your turf is. Morgan Stanley puts on a show about caring about giving back and company employee engagement. However its either being poorly executed or is not being done with honest intentions (feels like a check mark box). There is a vibe that they want you do charity work to boost the hours that they can put on display. But you never hear about the stories, You don't have senior management coming down/zoom sharing what they did or their experience. All you get a flimsy email for head of HR about the amazing work the company did with computer auto signature.

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!
