Morgan Stanley reviews

Too much politics at all the levels, they don't want intelligent loyal people but rather someone who does what they ask without complaining, it's more important to come to office on time than completing the work. If you are working for this firm be prepared to be laid off for no reason or rather for doing the right thing .

Contractual agreements by e-mail mean nothing to Executives. Gatekeeper bullies prevent you from collaborating, or joint groups, if they sense you're a threat to their ego/lack of skills/insecurities since many NYC staff have been there decades, and totally detached from what's going on in the real tech world on the street. Some teams are great: 3/4 of them, it seems roughly. If you end up on the wrong team, there will be finger pointing, scapegoats made of new employees, any mistake will be shamed in front of team, if your holier than thou boss has a hair out of place, expect to be shuffled and set up to fail, even if you ask for help from those who are neither Human, nor Resourceful. Toxic environment needs a sweep through by government legislators to cut off the bully bosses at their ankles, or better yet thrown out! Beware of colleagues, if you still have a chance to do research before joining, that have absolutely no recommendations, of any sort, on their LinkedIn profile.
