Pros

Can't think of any. Maybe the company name?

Cons

Too many. Not sure where to start. Literally the worst company that I have workded for. They keep saying you are an asset but they never intend to invest in you and they just want you to be used as a labor. They pay seems OK but if you take the hours into account, it's really bad. Bar of hiring is getting lower and lower these days at Morgan Stanley. The only place keeping the bar is the IBD division. You will meet a lot of arrogant people but they have really bad qualifications and have no idea what they are doing, especially in the mid office space. The business has become a sweatshop. Avoid if possible. I feel regretful of taking an offer here and giving up another very decent offer from another shop. Just don't repeat my mistake.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
