Pros

MS has a long history of success in the finance industry. Processes and systems are fairly strong. It is not a cowboy culture, but does take appropriate risks.

Cons

MS is in a state of flux. It does not seem to know what it wants to do or be. MS lacks the focus of a Goldman and financial results have shown it.

Pros

Pay was better than most wall street firms, not even counting bonus. They really do make an effort to train their tech staff in new skills. Easy to telecommute. Managers are there in the trenches with you.

Cons

Always on call. You will be called to handle problems when you are on vacation and in training classes. Corporate culture discourages genuine friendliness between rank-and-file and management. Claims to encourage "due diligence" but the person who reports a problem gets saddled with the responsibility of fixing it.
