Pros

Manager role is provided by Morgan Stanley which is equivalent to Senior Software Engineer in Software industry. There are very few pros. - Bonus provided is more than expected. - Brand name in Financial Services (Investment Banking)

Cons

- First of all there is a fear of 'Lay Off' hunt you constantly. In 2022-2023 there was lay-offs a couple of times. It's from lower level to upper level. Please do a google search before joining. - No learning curve, no growth. - If you love technology, then this is not the place for you. - No work life balance.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
