Business outlook
Pros
I worked in IT for 10 years and got promoted twice during that time. Hard work and talent are definitely recognized. Morgan Stanley is fundamentally a meritocracy. The technology infrastructure is great, and the caliber of one's cohorts is generally very high.
Cons
Senior management tend to get mired with infighting and turf wars. One highly politicized group I was in had far too many meetings to try and get everyone on board, resulting in a syndrome of all talk and little action.
