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.

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.

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 opportunities for direct communication and collaboration across different levels.

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

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.

Salary and benefits

Dislikes

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

Likes

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.

Likes

Technology, development areas was good.

Dislikes

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.

Likes

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

Dislikes

Less of work life balance. Also professional judgements are done basis personal life experiences.
