Morgan Stanley

"i worked here for many years almost always in groups of men."

"It is a boys club environment with the club changing frequently"

"This is a very fast paced environment. There is focus on diversity and women initiatives. The benefits are good, with 16 weeks maternity leave now."

"I worked here for 4 years and loved it for the first 2 years. It's a male dominated industry/company so be prepared to encounter cut-throat personalities.However, whenever I was looking to advance the regional management teams always found a way to veto it. Although it was a terrible ending, I am happier with my choice to move on. This is a great entry level company and I am thankful for the learning opportunities I had there but unless management is supportive of career advancement, it will not end well."

"Worked there and predecessor firms for more than two decades. Shearson, Smith Barney and Citi were far better for women than MS. The bottom line is what matters at MS and employee morale doesn't appear to be an objective of the senior management team - which by the way has very few women."
