Pros

If you want to learn self-reliance, to be challenged and finding your own way this is it.

Cons

Low pay for the most part. When John Mack cut everyone's salary to save the company a few years ago, he never gave it back even after Morgan Stanley was doing very well.

OK

Pros

There does seem to be a genuine awareness that things can and need to be improved at higher levels of management. In general, information sharing and cooperation across teams is ok, but can get better.

Cons

Some elements of management are positive and, if carried out fully, will make things better. However, still to many middle managementl initiaves and projects that add zero value and exist only for individuals aggrandizement.
