Pros
Benefits are good and they offer unique networking opportunities like virtual museum tours, zoom fitness classes, and mental health time off. They do offer great work/life balance also.
Cons
This is truly then most toxic culture I have ever experienced. If you are talented your manager and peers will take credit for your work and smother your potential then make you do all their work for them. They are status-quo people and feel if you don't like it just take mobility. Mobility is the dumbest thing I've ever seen since they have no onboarding program so when someone does take mobility they are set up for failure and have a much longer time adapting and learning the role that they are unqualified to take to begin with. My entire department came through from mobility and had no clue to how do their jobs. I felt like I was in the 13th grade working with these people. My management was the most incompetent group of people I've ever worked with and our ED couldn't even make their own PowerPoint slides themselves let alone know how to use a software system. The pay is below average and they want to overwork you if you're talented. They have no development which is why their leadership is trash. They promote based on tenure and not talent so expect to train your boss for years and get nowhere. I'm unsure how Morgan Stanley is successful at all, honestly. The incompetence, lack of diversity, and politics, makes this place seem like 1985. I'm sure there are some good departments but few and far between . The people are not kind or welcoming and it's a shark culture when there is no reason for it. No one will help you either if you complain and ask for help. It's a no win situation working here. If you work here, you're stuck with people treating you like trash until you leave. Not worth your mental health.
