      A challenging and rewarding place to work. Strong culture of excellence, but always changing.

      Pros

      Management is smart and dynamic, leading to constant growth and new opportunities. The firm has a strong brand, which gives current and former employees credibility in the marketplace. As a global organization there are ample opportunities for collaboration across cultures and time zones. Local offices often develop their own entrepreneurial culture in the context of a larger organization.

      Cons

      Pressure is high, and often change can disrupt career plans. Change happens often. Little to no perks. Only MDs get offices. Almost Spartan cost culture. The legacy of being part of Morgan Stanley in the investment business is extra security and control on internet access and personal communications. Not quite as bad as working for a broker/dealer, but still pretty bad.

      Pros

      Great working environment. Friendly, fun, highly-energetic. Sharing best practices and knowledge is always welcome. Very global and diverse, everyones is very friendly and respectful, making it easier for an employee to work in teams and across functions. Senior management is reachable, and makes you feel that your position really matters in the organization.

      Cons

      Needs to improve on designing a clearer career path for each position. Also, needs to improve the way it communicates their performance review, as well as other policies to employees.

      Immensely fulfilling when working with people with the right attitude. Lack of creative problem solving in some teams.

      Pros

      Benefits are better than average for a vendor and there are clear policies on what is acceptable and what isn't, for example around travel. Trying to implement the 'OneMSCI' approach which hopes to bring greater benefits to the end client.

      Cons

      Prepare to put in the hours and most personal development is secondary compared to achieving company and "shareholder value" goals. Lack of ownership from some workers in EM Centers who focus too much on doing the absolute minimum in order to say that they have done something remotely useful for a client.
