Pros

There are no pros working at Morgan Stanley

Cons

Extremely toxic environment. Managers are encouraged to bully the team and push to the edge. People literally cry on the floor. EDs & the top management feel they are gods and class A narcissistic in nature. They talk about themselves in 3rd person in meetings. Zero job security. If the firm earns a dollar less compared to last year, be prepared to be fired without any reason, even if you are the top most performer. Only way to grow is play to the narsicist behaviour of the top management & "Networking".

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!
