Pros

Like going to a prestigious school, having Morgan on your resume can open doors.

Cons

Pretty hard to get promoted here and not a lot of job growth. Think of it as a stepping stone to better things. For most people that's what to expect. It is also a very formal place, you need to watch how you act. Management is in it for itself, more so than at other companies I have worked.

Pros

Reputation and Client Base Compensation and Benefits The research was top notch and the firm was involved in major deals

Cons

The sheer magnitude of the salesforce was overwhelming - there appeared to be a focus on quantity, not quality, which led to an unusually high rate of attrition

Pros

Performance = Compensation. Lots of opportunities to shine and be rewarded for a job well done.

Cons

Basically, you have no life outside of work.
