      Run Like Hell!

      Associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It was a paycheck. Period.

      Cons

      The corporate culture is abominal. MS is the most anti meritocratic house on the Street. If you are in a non revenue cost center, God help you; you're percieved as nothing more that overhead. Management works 24 X 7 to offshore and outsource. Career development and training are non existent. If you don't have a "rabbi", you might as well get your resume on monster.com as your days are numbered.

      Morgan Stanley - Strong Firm, Good Opportunities

      Vice president finance
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Morgan Stanley is a reputable firm with a strong management team. They offer excellent opportunities for career development including tuition reimbursement, extensive learning programs, job rotation, etc.

      Cons

      Corporate politics and personal agendas sometimes impede projects from moving forward. Functionalization efforts to increase efficiency have hindered communication resulting in "silos", or departments that tend to work independently of each other. Internal growth is heavily promoted and supported however, individuals "climbing the ladder" often find themselves falling significantly behind market value in terms of overall compensation.

      Enjoy the money but you live at work.

      Programmer analyst associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The money is what draws you in. There is also the corporate name for your resume and to most people it is a highly respected name.

      Cons

      The long hours. Promotion based on time in a group and are you buddies with the boss.
