Pros

4 weeks paid vacation starting your first year at MS. There is a very rich collection of learning materials as part of MS University. Really a fantastic way to learn new products, and skills. Great benefits.

Cons

Working environment is hit or miss depending on your manager and VP. There were a lot of managers per person when I was there. Current CEO comes from the retail banking world, and his focus may go there. The retail banking especially MSSB venture is really a problem for the group because they can not cut costs, and the "talent" is costing them over 60% of revenue from the group, compared to investment banking which is costing between 40%-50% of revenue.

Pros

Pay is high compared to similar positions in other companies. Work and personal life can be balanced easily. growth opportunities are OK

Cons

The work is not challenging for someone who is very strong technically. you learn things in the beginning, may be first year but thereafter you don't improve/learn much.
