Employees at Morgan Stanley appreciate the great colleagues and supportive, community-oriented work environment. The company's reputation and brand name are also positives, along with good work flexibility and a focus on prioritising clients.
However, there are some potential challenges mentioned, such as issues with management not listening to employee expertise, having high standards and potential politics. Some felt there was a lack of career development opportunities and that those seeking progression were discouraged. Reviewers also noted outdated systems and office facilities in need of upgrading, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne. A few described the work environment as depressing with low morale, as well as very long working hours and high workload expectations.
