Pros

You have access to a lot of resources needed to effectively complete your job. Also, depending on your department, VP offices cultivate a good amount of an open door policy.

Cons

Management and HR offer little in the way of helping you advance your career. While the onus is on you to find an opportunity for yourself, the Company doesn't do much to help move you along the path.

Pros

The Morgan Stanley name is a pretty strong brand. There is a strong sense of MS pride within the firm.

Cons

The compensation for the hours worked is obscene compared to the competitors. Definitely not an intellectually stimulating environment. A monkey can do the job, but you look better in a suit.

Pros

Although it depends on the branch you work at, in general, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney has a great work environment. Colleagues are very kind, friendly, and helpful. There is a lot of company functions and socials where you can personally get to know the people you work with.

Cons

An intern would usually work for a broker or a team of brokers. The experience that you get out of the internship depends on the team that you work for. If your boss is a challenging person to work with, then that will most likely be your experience at the firm.
