Dislikes

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

Leave policy and employee support is good at Morgan Stanley. Medical benifits, career development courses are available. While joining they provide good percent hike over your existing salary.

Dislikes

Appraisal hikes are very low, less then market standard. Favouritism happens very frequent, community support culture is followed by senior management. Internal movements are purely dominated and managed by senior management. They don't let you leave team easily, or they spoil your ratings.

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.

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 outside 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 may 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
