Pros

High compensation to attract you to join the company

Cons

Morgan Stanley has a horrible and toxic team culture, kicking out people one by one who are top performer but politically incorrect. Top management does not care about the performance of the staff (eg. revenue generated), but the political skills of the person. Completely dysfunctional department with all the wrong focus from top down. Promotion was not based on merits, but on their shoe shining skills. Manager mistreat staff who are great contributors to the business. Top management turnover rate is extremely high; They have changed 3 people within 1.5 years because they do not know how to run a proper business.

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!
