Pros

good package and name looks good on CV

Cons

A deeply troubling incident occurred when a senior financial analyst, who was passed over for a leadership role, reacted with open hostility toward the woman who was rightfully promoted. He screamed at her in front of the entire team—demanding that she decline the offer—and continued to torment her until she was in tears. What followed was even more disturbing: he began behaving as if he were the acting head, undermining her authority and creating a toxic power dynamic in full view of colleagues. Despite this unprofessional and aggressive conduct, Morgan Stanley chose not to terminate his employment. Instead, they merely withheld his bonus—a response completely misaligned with the standards the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) sets for identifying and removing "bad apples" in regulated financial environments. This wasn’t just a failure of leadership—it was a failure of values, accountability, and regulatory responsibility.

Pros

No pros at all, it s a very very third class, filled with politics and boot licking practise company. Where outsiders / new comers are cornered and blamed every day without any KT/ any proper information/ guidance. People expect you to know everything and expect you to work like robots.

Cons

work culture is very toxic, managers play dirty politics, people will hire and fire you irrespective of your condition. Even when you are on leave, politics can be played very well to destroy you and ur entire career. Never ever going to recommend this toxic work place to anyone. too much work pressure, dirty politics, bad management, no such law for new comers/ outsiders who have newly joined. Old junior people within the org treat you like slaves and give you HR warnings for no reasons at all.
