Morgan Stanley Director Engineering salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Salary and pay standards are good. The policy and procedure work is organised and helpful.

Dislikes

Hypocrisy on the culture values quoted and practiced. The usa counterparts are very random in their behavior. No sense of team ownership. Indian staff is treated like a contract labour. This can very specific to my experience, so don't generalize.

Likes

High exposure to onshore team. Decent bonus payout. US MNC culture so beyond a point professionalism is adhered.

Dislikes

Highly incompetent VPs and Top management. Wrong hires across top management. No visibility for team expansion. High disregard to women when it comes to maternity or otherwise. But large emphasis on diversity, highly contradictory.

Likes

Good Company to work in, good starting compensation offered and nice organization culture. Rest of the benefits and experience depends on the project you are a part of. Over-all a good organization to switch into and good people to work with.

Dislikes

...isappointed if you have worked with advanced tech in your previous organization. Starting Compensation offered is one of the best as per standards, but yearly hike are not at par.

I was lucky enough to work on 2 development from scratch products at Morgan. This gave me a tremendous learning curve. Along with it, I worked with some of the most hardworking, smart, intelligent people. Although, some people would complain of the lack of work-life balance, I felt the work to be so intriguing that I never had a problem working hard and/or over the weekends.

Dislikes

The salary hikes/bonus were not as good as they were earlier, but that was primarily due to a tough business environment and it's impact on the company's profit.
