Morgan Stanley

Management has an open-door policy.

Fair compensation, although closely tied to market performance.

You get an opportunity to present your ideas.

Most positions offer a balance between work and personal life.

Too much reliance on offshore.

Very strong silo structure, typical for large companies.

Minimal information sharing across teams.

Often need a push from senior managers to get others to commit.

Need to improve the overall competency of technology staff.

MSSB is a joint venture. The company is still in transition and very hard searching for its identity. The management team is doing a good job of moving the company through this transition. There are many things that will be addressed in the future, but for now, it is hard to ask for anything more.
