Extreme favoritism, biasness and politics. Managers not discussing career path, regular 1:1s, lacks of KPIs to track performance and judging individuals on the basis of peers' feedback, lack of guidance from the leadership team and poor training mechanism

Policies and facilities
Old senior employees exploiting new employees. HR supports office politics and no workplace ethics. No mandatory job rotation, which is causing people to stay with their loved ones and exploiting new comers. Senior management is playing blind & deaf role.

Office dress culture is relaxed. Hybrid work mode is good to have.
Poor job security and unfair appraisals and promotions. Coddling up to managers is required to get ahead and promoted. Kind of starting to become like TCS management. Tons of middle layer management in India.

1. Hybrid 2. Cafeteria 3. Colleagues
1. Corporate Bullying by some superiors 2. Bad training by trainee 3. Abusive language by trainee 4. Seniors expect quick results from some analysts but not from others(unequal treatment) 5. Seniors egotistically complain to HR that I am attacking them with words although I am asking a doubt.(It is like they don’t know the answer tothe doubt; just turn it towards me) 6. No one was there to guide me to my desk on the starting day. I made calls to all the HRs (who had contacted me for the job) but no one answered. I somehow managed to get a number of a random person sitting in Bangalore who called the concerned person to get me. I had to wait for 1 hour in the lobby. My manager was supposed to escort me to the floor but he was on holiday. 7. The IT team told me that the work setup will be delivered at home before my starting day. But it got delivered 1 month after my starting day. I raised many queries in the meantime. But my other colleagues had got their setup before their start. 8. The HRs did not pick or return my call till my starting day. There was nothing to get my queries resolved. They hardly replied to my mails asking for a callback. 9. The HR asked twice for my credentials for background verification.(And the senior expects me, a fresher, to be perfect at my work at the onset) 10. 3 of the seniors always pressurised me to be perfect because I am a qualified professional but did not pressure other analysts who had same qualifications as me. One of them commented that I don’t look like I am interested in work and always on mobile even I wasn’t. I swear to God, I wasn’t on my mobile for more than 5 mins a day; but my colleagues used to constantly use mobile. Even though I was excited for work, the seniors demotivated me everytime. 11. All of my team colleagues were frustrated at those seniors. Even a colleague(considered fantastic in work) from another team refused the offer to be on my team. 12. They will promote only those people who are dear to them whether or not they are capable....Read More

Pay and perks are good.
Mid level managers in model risk management are incompetent, incapable of doing any hands on. Senior management cannot tolerate criticism No work ethics. Credit is often not given to the deserving person. Promotions are manipulated for personal propaganda.

Salary compensation they paid very good. Besides the other facilities like skills and development session from outsider(Iron lady, etc.) are there. Hybrid culture is also there this is a plus. Food compensation is also good. Overall Infrastructure and facilities are very good.
Management is unprofessional. Don't believe in Team work. Managers play divide and rule policy they encourages team member to fight with each other and play unethically with each other.

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
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 opportunities 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. These challenges made it harder to fully enjoy the work experience despite the valuable skills I developed....Read More

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.

Technology, development areas was good.
Lots of micro management, politics, toxic work environment. Managers always love highlighting people(who are just stealing some other developer's hard work credit). this manager's higher management is also influencing him to do so. No respect to non officers post.

Love the USA culture working conditions and especially like the fact that opportunities are given to one and all Appreciations in the form of awards are highly motivating. Stays upto its brand name. Proud to be a Morgan Stanley family

Too much beurocracy. Poor management who have no vision and do not understand what they are actually doing. Top down culture. Too much politics. If you are someone who really wants to do stuff, please stay away from this company.

The benefits, perks, pay structure, night shift allowance, office infrastructure.
Specific to my process, not sure about others 1. No support from managers 2. Although sufficient leaves are available but management creates issue in granting leaves. 3. No clarity related to growth/promotion. 4. Uncertainty of job in terms of layoffs. 5. No backfills/backups incase someone leaves the organization, have to work with limited resources.
