Pros
Overall this is a very good company to work for. Some of the highlights are: - Morgan Stanley is full of very talented and smart people - Morgan Stnaley uses a broad technology spectrum and experiments with lots of cutting edge technology - The benefits are generally very good. (e.g. up to 3 months of paid family leave under certain circumstances, such as having a baby) - Most departments operate on very high ethical standards - Good training program - Compensation is generally very good
Cons
Morgan Stanley is a large and some times anonymous corporation. As a result the departments can be very fragmented (eg. if you want to run a database you have to go through the dba group) My biggest gripe is that Morgan Stanley engages in extensive offshoring, especially to India, which can be a challenge and dampens morale for NY-based employees.
