Pros

Good Colleagues, Good Pay, night drop

Cons

Other than pay there is nothing. My advice any techie should not join Morgan Stanley either in Mumbai or Bangalore. No Fix work, You might be hired for java but work on something else and they can fire you anytime. No Job Security. Long Hours. If you don't have good relationship with Manager, you can be fired within a month. Worst company i have ever worked.

Pros

Good benefits and very charitable organisation that believes in giving back.

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked. Would not wish this on my worst enemy. Be prepared to work very long and unsociable hours and have work dumped on you from all over with no staff and no additional compensation.

Pros

Money. If you can strong arm them into giving you lots of it.

Cons

1. They came to Bangalore, set up a fancy office and then went on and recouped the expenses by giving ridiculously low hikes and bonuses on comp day. Some frivolous metric ROE was thrown around as excuse. This has hurt people who did not negotiate hard while joining and are thus in the danger of having under-par salaries as the experience year mount. Attrition is through the roof for the very same reason. Still, they don't seem to be understanding the root cause. 2. Very complex systems. No documentation. Prod support kind of work. 3. In order to get anywhere in this company, you need to put your dancing shoes on and get "visibility". Does not matter how well you do at actually writing code. 4. Poor work life balance. 5. Expectations are extremely high.
