      Dont get fooled by the Morgan Stanley brand. Most people are not happy and only stay because of pay and the name

      Pros

      I've learned a lot of skills

      Cons

      *extremely stressed environment *no proper direction for firm objectives and technologies to use *mostly internal tools used which makes learning and investigation really hard *very bad social vibe and people are always under pressure *layoffs can happen and cut you any day and it can be all because of the stock market *a lot of meetings with over sea staff and sometimes you need to work outside business hours *not able to negotiate your salary after couple of years *dont value their employees and senior staff and only consider them as resources

      I have PTSD now

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is good and the brand name credible.

      Cons

      Boss clearly had mental health issues, and he was verbally and emotionally abusive. His C-level boss liked him, though, so he stayed while his direct reports swung through the revolving door.

      An Honest Review from a Long Term Employee

      Market risk
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent company gym with onsite health clinic, the department tends to encourage academic pursuits and certifications for one’s betterment, the learning experience especially for junior people is good

      Cons

      Extremely political atmosphere, nepotism throughout the department, long hours for minimal gain, face time is basically mandatory, compensation rarely tied to firm performance and mostly tied to likability from your boss, inept coworkers, extremely poor technology, numerous and seemingly random layoffs throughout the year, the loudest and most obnoxious voices will drown out reasonable people. Be prepared for PTSD after you eventually leave
