Pros

4 weeks paid vacation starting your first year at MS. There is a very rich collection of learning materials as part of MS University. Really a fantastic way to learn new products, and skills. Great benefits.

Cons

Working environment is hit or miss depending on your manager and VP. There were a lot of managers per person when I was there. Current CEO comes from the retail banking world, and his focus may go there. The retail banking especially MSSB venture is really a problem for the group because they can not cut costs, and the "talent" is costing them over 60% of revenue from the group, compared to investment banking which is costing between 40%-50% of revenue.
