Loyalty does not pay off

Pros

MS is still recognized as a top employer brand on the job market, which gives an advantage in the CV.

Cons

Total reward is BS. The company takes financial advantage of loyal employees meanwhile spending large amounts hiring senior positions and consultants. Over the years, it is becoming a more bureaucratic, red tape organization.

Worst Company I have worked for

Pros

High compensation to attract you to join the company

Cons

Morgan Stanley has a horrible and toxic team culture, kicking out people one by one who are top performer but politically incorrect. Top management does not care about the performance of the staff (eg. revenue generated), but the political skills of the person. Completely dysfunctional department with all the wrong focus from top down. Promotion was not based on merits, but on their shoe shining skills. Manager mistreat staff who are great contributors to the business. Top management turnover rate is extremely high; They have changed 3 people within 1.5 years because they do not know how to run a proper business.
