Morgan Stanley Associate Reviews

Likes

* Flexibility on work location - 3 days WFO, one can work a portion of office work and commute to home to do the rest of the work for a day.

Dislikes

* The local leadership (risk management) is incapable. There is no clear long-term vision in model risk management. * No appreciation of good work, the ownership in the end may not remain with the original employee as well. * Gossip and artificially created competitive culture within the team, eventually reducing the overall productivity. Due to this, employees generally look down upon each other. * Less than market salary while the work volume remains significant. * Team leaders utilize promotion aspirants for their benefit. * Mid-level managers are incompetent (less hands-on) to help in the work and expect everything to be diligently done at the IC level.

Leave policy and employee support is good at Morgan Stanley. Medical benifits, career development courses are available. While joining they provide good percent hike over your existing salary.

Dislikes

Appraisal hikes are very low, less then market standard. Favouritism happens very frequent, community support culture is followed by senior management. Internal movements are purely dominated and managed by senior management. They don't let you leave team easily, or they spoil your ratings.
