What is a typical working day like at Morgan Stanley?

Good facilities, food and perks Good pay

The work culture here often feels like a race, where showcasing your efforts takes precedence over the actual work being done. This emphasis can sometimes lead to a toxic environment. Additionally, the long working hours, often extending late into the night to align with US time zones, can be challenging.

Great culture of people and team

Working in a global team entails night meetings potentially

Meaningful, challenging, interesting work Work-life balance Excellent work culture

In Asia, night calls are a reality, so, may not have time to go out during weekdays.

Working with international team and people from different backgrounds

Toxic work culture 12-14 hour working hours Compulsory office Unnecessary meetings and townhalls Work late night to collaborate with people from other timezones Legacy codebases Taking leaves is looked down upon and working long hours is normalized Salary not upto market standards and you will be underpaid if your current salary is low

Decent package, Competent teammates. Golden exposure to be subject matter expert. Well-regarded in the industry.

Tough night calls, Tough workload to handle both BAU and projects (but you will learn a lot from it). Folks are picky, Don't join if you are a person just trying to do the bare minimum.
