Pros

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney had great managers who took the time to teach interns, interested in the field of wealth management, anything they inquired about. Whenever had questions or wanted to learn something new, there was always someone there to mentor me.

Cons

In the office I worked at, the office culture was definitely more "old-guard" and very mundane. The average age of all the individuals working there was probably around 40 with only one or two young minds to bring fresh perspective.

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!
