Pros

There does seem to be a genuine awareness that things can and need to be improved at higher levels of management. In general, information sharing and cooperation across teams is ok, but can get better.

Cons

Some elements of management are positive and, if carried out fully, will make things better. However, still to many middle managementl initiaves and projects that add zero value and exist only for individuals aggrandizement.

Pros

The ultimate opportunity to create your own destiny and have no limit as to how much you will work and how much you will earn!

Cons

You had better be extrememly self motivating. Nobody really cares what you do, because you are building your own business and the proof is in the pudding.

Pros

A large company, with an intimate feel, can teach you a lot about asset allocation and wealth management. The internship post I had allowed me to be directly involved with clients and solving everyday problems.

Cons

I would definitely say its still a competitive place to work in. It gets incredibly busy and people are not okay with excuses, when something is asked to be done it is to be done. That's true of any industry, but morgan stanly does demand excellence
