      Great place to work

      Pros

      Morgan Stanley is a great place to work because it provides a motivated team environment, with ample opportunity for advancement, and lots of access to clients early in your career. The company also offers a good compensation policy and competitive benefits relative to its peers. Employees are self starters and intelligent from junior levels to senior levels. In my experience, the firm provides great access to senior team members. More of a team approach than at many other banks - everyone works together across divisions to achieve the best results for clients.

      Cons

      As in most banking positions, working at Morgan Stanley in investment banking requires long hours and a lack of schedule predictability.

      Pros

      Compensation Challenging tasks Creativity acknowledged/supported International teams Normal working hours

      Cons

      Sometimes boring. Lack of freedom: have no word in what project to work on. (Especially coming from the academia this is unusual for me.) Have to spend lots of time gathering information about undocumented systems.

      MS: Great place to start a career

      Analyst

      Business Outlook

      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
