Morgan Stanley Assistant Manager/Manager -(Technical) Reviews

Dislikes

In the Wealth Management team is currently undergoing frequent changes and appears to be facing some structural or strategic uncertainty. It may not be the most stable environment at the moment for long-term career growth or role clarity. I would recommend gathering more context or clarity before considering a transition into this team.

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 can be utilized to enhave skills and that you have to do on top of your project work.

Dislikes

Management and politics. Work is not the focus. If you are good at work but bad at politics then dont join. You need to agree to manager's opinions always even if they are not good for project technically or business wise.

Only the food and the facilities at new office are good. 10 Day WFO policy.

Dislikes

Toxic culture. Work is not appreciated. Hikes and bonuses don't beat inflation even with a good year end review. Promotions depend a lot on senior management and equation with them not on work done in the year.
