Pros

Good culture, brilliant people, top industry player. Overall its a great place to start a career you deal wiht really big important client relationships and the managers are very willing to help you learn. Very much a work hard-play hard atmosphere. Work very long hours but almost everyone I work with is down for a good time on the weekends. Almost every person in my analyst class is from a top tier school and is very intelligent, but more importantly, they are fun people to work with and have a real personality.

Cons

Large, bureaucratic--you know your place in the chain of command, long hrs

Pros

Morgan Stanley has a great brand and some of the best intellectual capital in the world. Strong senior management and good communication with the employees for the most part. Very strong investment banking, Prime Brokerage and fixed income departments.

Cons

They are very behind on technology and training. Goals and requirements are very tough for new advisors. Turnover is very high. The biggest producers are taken care of the smaller a producer you are the less management watches out for you.
