      I worked at Morgan Stanley

      Pros

      The people are great but the hours are tough. It will set you for a great career in the industry. Requires a lot of commitment, but there's opportunities for those that work hard.

      Cons

      Can be beaurocratic as any investment bank. Processes are lengthy and very formalised. Timing can be a challenge as most decision makers sit off shore.

      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Morgan Stanley full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Great name on your resume. Can’t think of any other reason apart from this. Recommended for junior candidates, it is a great place to build up your professional experience. Get a couple of years of experience, build network and LEAVE!

      Cons

      Toxic culture. Team leader and managers are lack of managerial skills. Dying to get out at the 6th month of employment. It makes me feel stupid being around. The team leader/team manager only hires the mediocre or submissive candidates because they were sick of being challenged by the smart people. The moment when I heard this, that’s when I decide to quit!

      Advice to Management

      Management needs to look into how to improve organisational culture and provide leadership training to the middle management. Hire the ambitious and best people. People are the only success key factor to drive company to grow!
