Pros

A large company, with an intimate feel, can teach you a lot about asset allocation and wealth management. The internship post I had allowed me to be directly involved with clients and solving everyday problems.

Cons

I would definitely say its still a competitive place to work in. It gets incredibly busy and people are not okay with excuses, when something is asked to be done it is to be done. That's true of any industry, but morgan stanly does demand excellence

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
