Morgan Stanley "Learning" Reviews

Likes

Morgan stanley has a very good overall culture. You can talk to anyone anytime without any hesitations. No difference between contractors and Full Time employees.

Dislikes

The promotions from Director to VP level and beyond is very conplicated and unclear. You have to go way out of your job role to get that. Also, it is an investment bank so majority of the tech projects have mediocre tech stack. But Morgan stanley as a company have multiple tech forums which c an be utilized to enhave skills and that you have to do on top of your project work</mark>....Read More

I truly appreciate the opportunity I had to work at Morgan Stanley. The company has a strong reputation for innovation and excellence in the financial industry. Working there provided me with a unique chance to collaborate with talented professionals and engage in meaningful, impactful work. The environment fostered growth, and I gained invaluable knowledge, especially in the areas of legal compliance and financial services. Morgan Stanley's commitment to integrity and its forward-thinking approach to business made it an inspiring place to develop my skills and contribute to its continued success ....Read More

Dislikes

While I gained valuable experience at Morgan Stanley, there were aspects of the work environment that I found challenging. The fast-paced and high-pressure nature of the industry sometimes made it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, the hierarchical structure could feel restrictive at times, limiting oppo rtunities for direct communication and collaboration across different levels. While the company’s focus on compliance and legal matters is essential, it sometimes led to a more rigid approach that felt less flexible in certain situations<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. These challenges made it harder to fully enjoy the work experience despite the valuable skills I developed</mark>....Read More

Some teams have a good learning environment.

Dislikes

Do not ever join Corporate Workplace Technology department. It's headed by a fool and run by psychology ill leaders. They spend their time playing psycho games instead of working. Nobody in that department has any clue where this department is headed.

I like the work culture of the company. The team i was part of, it was a stable environment so there was a stagnant growth.

Dislikes

Personal learning and growth are very hard to achieve here, as they don’t sponsor any certification.

Job stability is a good reason to stay in MS

Dislikes

The product that you would be working might feel boring because of its uninteresting nature. Also some teams in India are too overloaded with business deliveries, you might not get chance to learn new things.

Very people-centric culture, with high values. One generally finds highly tenured employees here for 2 reasons - one develops very deep domain knowledge working here. So after the initial steep learning curve, one is not much challenged with learning. Technology hasnt kept pace with out side world and after a while, there is a risk of de-skilling. Slow to adopt new technology. Strong values based organization, and one takes time to get used to the conservative culture....Read More

Dislikes

Usually very top-down culture. In certain functions/teams, this can be very stifling. In most pasrts, one will get outdated on technology; working here long term. Morgan Stanley is very slow to adopt new technology and is quite conservative with innovation. Many systems are very old (say 10-20 years) and depending on the team, one ma y end up maintaining very old legacy systems. New, ground-up projects are hard to come by. Cloud adoption remains a work in progress and feels out of sync with technology trend....Read More
