Pros

The benefits to staff are really good.

Cons

We are made to attend all these diversity event but in reality this is just a tick the box. Morgan Stanley Canary Wharf is thriving on individual racism and institutional racism. It is the order of the day for me. You cant even speak up about this. If you speak up the attacks intensifies. You are blacklisted and marked. It feels like skin colour is a big factor in promotion, compensation, bonuses, and the work allocated to you.

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!
