Morgan Stanley reviews

There is ZERO leadership training. Upper management is filled with unqualified "managers" who should not be in leaderships roles just because they are more experienced. "Managers" have an absence of any sort of innate leadership qualities. Just because you can play the game, does NOT mean you should be a coach. They act like you do not understand, belittle your opinions, don't acknowledge your ideas, use your past to avoid their present wrongdoings and inject fear in you to conform to them . Teams consistently suffer from burnout, no one provides direction , people are constantly complaining about how unhappy they are everyday.

Unless you’re a financial advisor... you’re out of luck. If you’re an analyst or associate you’re not really valued by the firm. They even call us “support staff” to show that we were just there to support. I was a high performing analyst in a high performing team. I unfortunately had to deal with individuals that discriminated me based on my age and gender and experienced bullying during my time at Morgan Stanley. I was initially shocked because it’s never happened to me before at any other firm. I brought it up to management and HR multiple times and nothing was done. I wasn’t really listened to all they cared about was performance and not morale. There was also an instance when we lost a member of our team. It’s managements responsibility to hire a new replacement. They never did to cut costs and I was tasked to do the job of 2 people for 10 months which stalled my career significantly and mental well being. I worked 11 hour days and weekends to make up for it. Again... prioritizing performance and money over morale.
