Pros

Exposure to myriad aspects of investing, good training, supportive culture, good work/life balance. Town Hall meetings allowed employees to feel updated, and the MS Today home page helped to "shrink" the size of the organization and make it feel more local.

Cons

Challenges typical to very large organizations -- efficiency can suffer b/c of many layers. Comp not always competitive relative to smaller firms focused on just one area of investing (PE, hedge funds, asset management).

Pros

It could be a good start for ppls that has no experience of finance industry. The franchise was fantastic, but is in bad situation these yrs.

Cons

the comp in SH is not enough to keep senior ppls with the firm. The increment is very small. The development of career will be tough here without a highlighted project,

Flexibility should be given to the associates to try out new things rather than just follow the legacy systems. Promotion process should be uniform.
