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.

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.

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.

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
