Morgan Stanley reviews

Always challenging and fun, great people to work with

I have been working with Morgan Stanley Bangalore for 6+ months but below 1 year. Sharing my experience as I joined Morgan Stanley from a Tech giant previously. 1. From a hiring standpoint the salary hike was competitive for the role. 2. Benefits are decent, nothing much to complaint, but don't expect more if you were working for a tech giant before who might have added additional benefits for fitness re-imbursement. I heard it is available but for people at a higher designation level. 3. For the office transportation facility the firm sets the expectation in the beginning that it is a shuttle service during 08:00 AM - 7:PM Login/ logout so no door to door pickup and drop, however if you login a bit late you will have just the door-door drop (Better than not having any thing from my stand point). I feel this should not be a problem unless any one has specific concerns. 4. Usually it is day shift here in which lot of people work. I have not yet heard or seen any one logging in during Night shift (Again I might be wrong as I have not see this.) which is good not to have night shifts. 5. Work culture: This depends on the team you are hired. I work for the technology division in Bangalore location India. The culture from my experience is really good. My manager chases me if he sees me extending my shift so, yes they seem to be concerned with work life balance. 6. Usually the managers for a employee here are employees working from other countries. In some cases you might have your manager located in India its self. Advantage of managers from different location is (again my thought), you do not have that typical Indian culture of manager. People out side the country probably would treat you better. 7. The firm and Management expect employees to be transparent in terms if any blunders done or any mistakes done during the job role so things can be corrected. 8. I have seen they encourage to take leaves as well, which is good. The leaves given are around 21-23 which look similar to other companies. 9. Usually Indian holidays are applicable, but I guess it depends on your team as well. Most Indian holidays are covered but NOT all. 10. The office premises has a cafeteria, decent snacks are available. Food is available currently as offices are open post COVID and the meal is free. But not sure until when this free meal will be applicable how is it going to be. 11. Colleagues are open to help if you are stuck with work related issues. In my experience and team, I have not seen any one being harsh for not knowing some thing.
