      Pros

      Morgan Stanley is filled with smart people that you can learn from. They have a super star culture that motivates you to work hard and strive for the very best. Senior management tries to interact with all levels of employees, giving you more exposure. At Morgan, there seems to be a decent work/life balance. People are efficient and productive.

      Cons

      Not everyone is as driven as they should be. There is less of a team culture at Morgan Stanley, which may hinder some of the overall goals of the firm. I think there should be more communication across different teams so that the firm can encounter less mistakes. Having a more consensus driven culture maybe provide goal oriented results.

      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!
