Pros

Compensation is among the best on Wall Street and the firm has an incredible global platform. Just working for the firm, you can get into a lot of meetings that you wouldn't necessarily otherwise. I have a great financial toolkit after 3 years there, which is saying a lot considering I was a science major in college.

Cons

The downsides listed here are not unique to Morgan Stanley - they are applicable to any investment banking analyst position; the hours are long and a lot of it might be "face time", where you are simply sitting at your desk with nothing to do. The work-life balance is really tough to manage....so don't expect to do much outside of the office.
