      enjoyed working for MS but ultimately felt undervalued - Assistant Vice President Morgan Stanley Employee Review

      Pros

      community, sense of purpose, driven colleagues

      Cons

      The amount of essential work contributed was not reflected in pay vs. others on the larger team. I should have had a commission structure built into my agreement with the brokerage teams if we won corporate business, renewed existing clients or sold new services. I know better now, looking back I was often a work horse and the pay discrepancy was such that if I had been given something... even a couple thousand dollars for a multimillion dollar deal (and I averaged working on 40-52 of them per year...), it would have made all the difference. It is too bad as I really loved working there.

      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!
