Pros

The Morgan Stanley name is a pretty strong brand. There is a strong sense of MS pride within the firm.

Cons

The compensation for the hours worked is obscene compared to the competitors. Definitely not an intellectually stimulating environment. A monkey can do the job, but you look better in a suit.

Pros

Although it depends on the branch you work at, in general, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney has a great work environment. Colleagues are very kind, friendly, and helpful. There is a lot of company functions and socials where you can personally get to know the people you work with.

Cons

An intern would usually work for a broker or a team of brokers. The experience that you get out of the internship depends on the team that you work for. If your boss is a challenging person to work with, then that will most likely be your experience at the firm.
