I have been working at Morgan Stanley full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Generally better management structure than other investment banks. Strong equity franchise (not so much for fixed income and credit).
Cons
Pay package is just average, and below market in certain departments. Very slow in adopting modern remote working business model.
Advice to Management
Pay package (both cash and profit sharing in shares) and remote working flexibility need to improve ASAP to retain talents in today's competitive labor market.
I have been working at KPMG full-time for more than 3 years
Pros

Cons
Long hours Office politics High delegation of work if you are competent
