      Pros

      Big company with the ability to advance. Located in many locations such as NYC, Westchester, and Jersey City, NJ. Good benefits and a great stock purchase plan. Many of the manager that I worked with had been with the company for many years working there up through the ranks.

      Cons

      Even after all these year of the merger between Dean Witter and Morgan Stanley, there is still a big difference as to which side of the company that you work for. The current title structure is very flat, there is no Assistant Vice President (AVP), so Vice President is the first title position.

      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!
