Great Team mates, awful management and awful HR - VP- Risk Morgan Stanley Employee Review
- 2.0Sep 18, 2023VP- RiskFormer Employee, more than 10 yearsNew York, NY
Pros
During my time at Morgan Stanley, I observed some challenges in terms of leadership and the overall strategic direction of the organization I was part of. There seemed to be a lack of clear guidance and a coherent vision, which affected the efficiency and effectiveness of teams. Additionally, While HR plays a crucial role in any organization, I felt that there were issues related to transparency and fairness at Morgan Stanley. In some instances, it appeared that HR was more inclined to protect management rather than addressing employee concerns impartially. I resigned due to the chaos - Unfortunately, although I asked HR and my manager to approve my move to another group due to my role not being a good fit, I had to resign for my own mental health. That is so ashamed a company like Morgan Stanley promoting people that lack good leadership just for the sake of D&I.
Cons
I had the opportunity to build valuable friendships and relationships with some truly exceptional individuals across the company.

Cons
Cut throat Environment, its very common to feel like your boss has it out for you, instead of having your best interest at heart If your boss feels like his job is at jeopardy, he may start to throw you under the bus to all of his higher ups, to make him look better and you worse Boss may lie and say that you asked others to do your work, when you simply asked them to do their part of a process that affect you both You get chastised for not knowing things, even when its your first time learning them Your boss might purposely cancel a progress meeting when the meeting may go in your favor and then reschedule it again once he has more dirt to throw on you, or if you have made a mistake during that time period your boss may talk about you behind your back to your peers, enabling them to do the same thing, and develop less respect for you Boss may edit the daily production tracker that goes out to the Head Boss everyday, to make it seem as though you did no work for the day, even though you did Your supervisor might be nasty to you because others are being nasty to them your boss may make it seem like you are not a good fit for the team, even though others on the team come to you and complain about your boss's fit on the team
