Business Outlook
Pros
This company has its benefits, 401(k) [and match], medical insurance, and opportunity to participate in ESPP, but I would say its biggest win is the culture and camaraderie amongst its employees and leadership.
Cons
Morgan Stanley's acquisition of E*TRADE may have saved the company in the long run, but it cost them many of their most deserving clients. Morgan Stanley's willingness to put the bottom dollar against the potential benefit of serving its quality employees shows on a regular basis. Making a profit hand over fist and reporting as such in F2024 and then proceeding to lay off 2000 employees at the end of Q1 in F2025 does not make a good company. However, it may just be a sign of the times, so be it.
