Pros

The typical employee is smart and hard working. There is a good opportunity to learn from others. Compensation and benefit package is good. Good place to establish a strong professional network. Despite recent events Morgan Stanley is still well perceived when compared to other companies.

Cons

The recent market turmoil is keeping many people on edge. This isn't good for productivity or morale. This tough times will pass, but it is unlikely that the financial rewards will ever match previous ones. Despite that it can still be a rewarding place to work. Work hours are long. Promotions are difficult to achieve as it is a very competitive environment.

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!
