Pros

One of the most recognized brands in the world. Unlimited potential if you have someone who believes in you.

Cons

There is little effort made toward attracting, cultivating and retaining talent. Performance matters, but not how you got there. They tend to reward risky behavior and good luck over conservative good money management skills

Pros

Morgan Stanley offers very unique challenges given the scale of the business. Generally promotes a decent balance of work and personal life.

Cons

Some disconnect between upper mgmt and the working class with regard to strategic direction; most often seen in unrealistic timelines. Large company so even seemingly simple changes can move like molasses.

Pros

Big name to put in your resume. Employees can transfer internally after 18 months of employment in order to pursue and build up your own career path.

Cons

Compensation is lower than the market that makes a lot of talented to leave the firm and pursue a better opportunity.
