Morgan Stanley

The working environment is cool, and everyone is very polite.

Being an investment bank, the technological stack is constrained but still offers a lot to do and learn.

Lots of smart people around who focus more on design and architecture, which is a big plus.

There are lots and lots of projects internally, and hence lots of opportunities.

People are trained to be leaders and are pushed forward accordingly.

Superiors are very approachable, and the overall environment is pretty good.

Well, it takes a lot of convincing to bring in new technology, as people are skeptical to adapt. Some projects run on really outdated tech stacks. As it's a global company, the Scrum calls held sometimes are really late, which is a problem. Processes for retaining talent aren't good, and superiors have a laid-back attitude. Sometimes, people are hired and assigned to a project without much thought on their strengths.

Retaining talent is something that is missing. Employees are assets, not resources; hence, proper guidelines should be put in place for retaining employees. Also, initial counseling sessions should be conducted to decide on the projects for which the hiring is done.
