Morgan Stanley reviews

At the end of the day just another wire house, they are all the same. Unless you are on the top of this pyramid hard to get there unless you are lucky enough to get some help from those above. Need to hook up with a team with a someone really willing to retire soon otherwise you are SOL.

Management in NYC office is horrible. Avoid working there at all costs. There is no work/life balance in this office. Employees are treated like they are kids who don't know how to manage themselves and are micromanaged daily by the Executive Directors. Management in NYC are threatened by experienced and smart employees. They want 'yes' men around them and will not tolerate disobedience. It's an open secret in the office that top management (MDs) are protecting the 'boy's club' NYC managers (Executive Directors) from any scrutiny by the rank and file (VPs and below). Rank and file guys are genuine, smart and really helpful. It's a collaborative culture among the peers.
