Pros

Strong franchise Large research team Good parts to make a great company Employees Teamwork

Cons

Never comes together despite OneMSCI program. Missed a huge trick with the sale of Barclays indexes to plug the gaping hole in the fixed income space. Pay premium for acquisitions and then cost-cut it to the bone to keep the Street happy. Hence why growth is sub-par compared to its competitors. CEO and Chairman should not be held by the same person. Not a good place if you have a family to take care of.

Never An Ideal Place to Work

Pros

Hard to find anymore. Can maybe get to work with new resources every now and then. Management doesn't like to buy anything new. Especially in California offices. Some of the severely abusive and untrained managers have migrated to other fields. Of sorts.

Cons

Kind of deteriorating into a sweatshop, even on U.S. side. No great raises. Competitive instead of cooperative. Quite a bit of strange negative behavior in leaders and those on vp scales or above. But just go for drinks. Fail to show up, or discuss a vendor problem with key decision makers, when needed. Then try to throw the underlings under the bus to hide incompetence. All will be well. Historically grouchy, with sweetly manipulative side to office& Facilities management side. Same for Benefits and HR departments.
