Pros

Firm has a good reputation. Merger has created opportunities for creative problem solving. Firm has good benefits and good research.

Cons

Difficult to move up in the organization. Have to be willing to consider a lateral move. Not very good at promoting and recognizing employees for work they have done that is above their normal duties.

Pros

MS is a great platform to start your career. The brand name within the finance world is second only to GS and will open plenty of doors in the future.

Cons

The atmosphere can be very political just like any other investment bank. In addition, management tends to be very short-sighted (i.e. what have you done for me lately).
