Pros

A strong culture of volunteering and giving back is a core value for the firm. It's nice to work for a large company that makes significant donations, to the New York Children's Hospital for instance. Morgan Stanley takes care of its employees by promoting work-life balance, flexible sick days, and mental health days. The firm offers RRSP matching, which includes matching bonuses as well.

Cons

Working for a bank, employees are subject to trading restrictions, as Morgan Stanley is FINRA compliant. There are limitations on self-directed brokerage accounts, and outside business activities must be reported to the firm. There is no office Christmas party or many office-wide events. The firm places value on a uniform policy across the firm, which comes at the detriment of individual offices.
