Pros

Strong name recognition in the financial sector.

Cons

Was promised training and coaching for first 3 months while I put together a business plan and learned about Morgan Stanley. I received NO training other than on-line classes - NO personal interaction. I was able to pull together a successful business plan on my own and passed their 3 month assessment - but then was told to now bring in $3 million in assets a month.

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!
