      Need to be dedicated, but great potential here - make sure you really want this kind of job.

      Pros

      Good money, great place be if you are very career minded. Lots of very intelligent and hard-working people that you can learn from. Not too much corporate bullcrap - for a company of 50,000 strong, its remarkably nimble.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is hopeless, this is no different to any other US investment bank however. If you are a geek that just wants to play with computers this job will not be for you, as MS expects business-focused people in all support jobs. And never forget that those that make the money, rule the roost. Most of these complaints can be applied to other investment banks however.

      Best investment banking employer on Wall Street

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In short, great pay, great colleagues, great internal and external opportunities, great name brand recognition, relatively few strong and difficult personalities (relative to other banks on Wall Street). Morgan Stanley has demonstrated time and time again a truly differentiated culture that empowers employees to succeed and to get paid well for their efforts. As an analyst, there is no better investment bank to work for than Morgan Stanley.

      Cons

      Unpredictable hours, long hours, sometimes subordinates are forgotten (when credit is given) The standard issues with being an analyst at a bulge-bracket bank - working into the early morning on transactions, needing to break previously scheduled appointments, or generally having a difficult time balancing work and life
