Pros

Compensation and bonus are as per market standards

Cons

Morgan stanley has lost its charm. I would rate it 3rd after JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs in IBs Indian teams in Mumbai know nothing but politics. Contractors with no reliable education background are being promoted as FTE, just because they go well with directors. Once they become VP/Director they bring in the culture of TCS/INFY. In fact in some teams you would find all Gujju's and likewise. This very much tells to the level Mumbai office has degraded. I would not recommend anyone to join the Mumbai office.

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!
