Morgan Stanley Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"As an organization I found E*TRADE quiet immature. The business leaders do not have or project a clear objective - too many organizational changes have taken place in 2013, hopefully things will stabilize.The other main observation is E*Trade the company culture does not enable them to change roles easily, or move up. You can stay in the same role for years by being average, you may not get much by being exceptional.The work-family balance is good."

"I've worked for Morgan Stanley since 2006. The overall experience is nice but we receive little to none for compensation. The benefits are great but because of the economy we are not being compensated for the hard work we put in. The company suggests mobility but that takes over a year or so, or sometimes it's hard to move to a different department."

"Best company to work for."

I consider my 2+ years of experience at the bulge bracket investment bank a strength."

"Morgan Stanley was a tremendous experience that pushed me to strive for my absolute best and developed my abilities to network and build a sound practice, and promote an entrepreneurial outlook on creating, shaping, and building a relationship with clients from all walks of life, profession, and intentions.
