      First class business in a first class way

      Pros

      great teamwork, great place to learn the business from very experienced managers. real thrill of getting the deal done and winning in the market place, thinking like an owner makes a big company feel small. Great brand name and trust that has been built with clients over many years.

      Cons

      have to work a lot of time. Have to be careful about the managers whom you work for. Also want to make sure you are on a good path to success and have appropriate feedback to determine what those paths are early on.

      Once was great ...

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A low benchmark by peers means it's relatively easy to do well. Pay very well for median performance and even better for great performance. Some charismatic leaders. Leading user of technology. Global standardised accounting protocals are a tribute to the great work by Trevor Harris and Vaughn Harvey.

      Cons

      Highly political, although that's the norm for the industry. Global approach means a lot of boring travel. Research has been emasculated in recent years. Hedge fund clients now run the strategy for the securities division. Poor IBD deal flow makes it harder to get corporate access.

      Morgan Stanley, a good place to work - if you can handle working for a large sized company.

      Pros

      Salary and benefits are excellent. Company follows through on their committment to balancing work / life issues with real incentives and suggestions. They also support additional training or education efforts with their wallet - not just lip service.

      Cons

      Everything you might want to do - no matter how large or small - requires you know the policy, and follow it. Need a new PC? New PC arrived with 2 business days. The staff to set it up (must be union person) - 5 weeks. On the plus side - it's usually pretty easy to find the policy - very good search features on intranet.
