Pros
At Morgan Stanley, I enjoy a great salary and fantastic benefits. I also feel great knowing that I work with some of the smartest people in the industry. My coworkers are all outstanding. My job is incredibly fast paced, so there's little room for time to get bored.
Cons
The downside of working for any large company like Morgan Stanley is that there are lots of politics involved -- it varies significantly by manager, but many managers do not value work-life balance and there are often people who get rewarded for doing very little work. But you can find that anywhere. The most significant downside is that the market is very volatile and your job is at the mercy of the market.
