RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Morgan Stanley (More than 8 years)
Pros
High caliber personnel-smart, hardworking and want to do the right thing
Cons
No pay raises even for high rated performance reviews. Hours can be brutal even though top management espouses balance.
Advice to Management
Reward good performers for loyalty or you will lose valuable institutional knowledge. Track teams that routinely overwork and ask the team leaders for accountability.
