Pros
Morgan Stanley is a great place to work because it provides a motivated team environment, with ample opportunity for advancement, and lots of access to clients early in your career. The company also offers a good compensation policy and competitive benefits relative to its peers. Employees are self starters and intelligent from junior levels to senior levels. In my experience, the firm provides great access to senior team members. More of a team approach than at many other banks - everyone works together across divisions to achieve the best results for clients.
Cons
As in most banking positions, working at Morgan Stanley in investment banking requires long hours and a lack of schedule predictability.
