Morgan Stanley reviews

Cons - Direct managers - Executive Directors – only focus on promoting themselves (#1 compliant from employees). Time and time again, I’ve been asked to lead and implement projects, but when it coms to exposure, EDs take their teams work and present as their own. ED lack basic management skills, nowhere close to being “leaders”, immature, and lack any ability to be influential. Absolutely, no investment in training, or professional development. Training consists of either – 1) a managing director presenting on a topic for one hour, and that’s it, or 2) VPs training other VPs or juniors team members during a lunch and learn session. Year-end reviews are a joke…my last 3 reviews have lasted a total of 20 minutes.

Exploitive. Saw empty promises made to staff at all levels -forced to make some myself. People treated as commodities without consideration for career. Retention rates abysmal especially among new hires. Lots of unimpressive 15-30 yr veterans demoralized, lowly paid and longing for the good ole days.
