Morgan Stanley

• Great salary package, benefits
• Great infrastructure and company image
• Talented people within the firm

• Everyone minds their own business, perhaps because they were all well occupied, with minimal help and guidance for new joiners.

• New joiners are willing to self-motivate and learn on the job, but they need to at least understand the team's workflow and technical procedures in detail to get started. However, everyone just claimed they were overwhelmed and unable to help.

• Daily scrum meetings are overkill. You basically report your task progress every single day, with things piling up onto your bucket daily. Tons of meetings every day, including the scrum meeting, consume half of your day, leaving little time to achieve much during working hours. This means you need to work overtime to complete tasks assigned to you with tight deadlines.

• Management was poor, and the lead & PM only cared about whether you got your work done, ignoring many factors that caused delays.

• Lastly, they conduct layoffs without any symptoms just to make their annual report look good, dumping valuable employees like garbage and hiring the next round of fresh grads at lower costs.

Collaborate with team members by encouraging them to help each other instead of competing to complete your Jira tasks and promote team spirits.
