      Pros

      Morgan Stanley is a reputable firm with a strong management team. They offer excellent opportunities for career development including tuition reimbursement, extensive learning programs, job rotation, etc.

      Cons

      Corporate politics and personal agendas sometimes impede projects from moving forward. Functionalization efforts to increase efficiency have hindered communication resulting in "silos", or departments that tend to work independently of each other. Internal growth is heavily promoted and supported however, individuals "climbing the ladder" often find themselves falling significantly behind market value in terms of overall compensation.

      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!
