Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIBD - intensive and stressful workplace, steep learning curve, great exposure to big clients and interesting projects, very well paid but horrible work life balance

Awful manager, horrendous experience
Vice President (Former Employee) - Hong Kong - March 18, 2022
I knew from the interview that the manager was incompetent but was lured by the bump up in pay. I had a horrendous time and I was not alone judging by the almost 50% attrition among my peers during the year I was there. There are some good teams and competent managers at MS but choose wisely.

Great place
Associate (Former Employee) - Hong Kong - December 9, 2021
I worked in its overseas office. Colleagues are smart and hard-working, but the hours are not good. The review and promotion is very structured and relatively fair

Excellent
Director, Change the Bank (Former Employee) - Hong Kong, HK - March 22, 2020
There is a reason why Morgan Stanley became what is it. The reason is investment in people and taking care. Excellent work culture where individual people take ownership rather than shrugging

Very fast paced
Associate Software Developer (Current Employee) - Hong Kong, HK - March 4, 2020
Due to I'm not from either financial or IT background in university, the learning curve was a little steep, however my colleagues are very helpful to provide support. My typical day starts with a scrum meeting and I head on to do my project(s), sometimes I get pulled to help with support related issues, then after market close I would deploy my changes to the production environment, if I have a change ready and approved.

People are friendly
Associa (Former Employee) - Kowloon - February 19, 2020
The working environment is nice since people welcome your questions but work hours may not be ideal. It depends on which department you get into as some department tends to have late hours.

Pros

Unfair practice and management biased, hard working does not guarantee promotion

Workplace culture in Morgan Stanley
AML - GFC (Current Employee) - Hong Kong, HK - July 28, 2018
Reasonable hours with nice people. Lot of team bonding events to get to know each other inside the department. Promotion wise - the headcount struggle is real.
