Pros
MS provides an excellent environment to start a professional career, with lasting opportunities for those who want to work towards partnership. The company primarily works with large banks and financial services companies, allowing you to build a skillset that is transferable to other industries and companies.
Some of the best aspects of working with MS include:
-Work with top-level banks such as JP Morgan Chase and Santander
-International exposure: as a company headquartered in Spain, you get wide exposure to international perspectives and networks, especially in Europe, with the opportunity to travel. For those who excel, you may get the chance to attend the Yearly Meeting in Spain, as well as the possibility to work on overseas projects.
-Work in teams with young colleagues with whom you will form lasting friendships and relationships that extend later in your career.
-The company is merit-based. When you do well, they will reward you and treat you well. As it should be.
-Regular training sessions on a variety of topics to build your knowledge base.
-Get your hands into real work from the start. This is not like other starter firms where you hide behind your colleagues for 1 or 2 years. You will start working (and learning) from the moment you start.
-Lasting opportunities: If you do well and continue to enjoy the work, you can continue to rise through the ranks towards Partnership. Salaries and bonuses rise along the way.
Cons
As this is a consulting job, expect longer than normal hours. You should expect to put in effort to succeed. The company values customer service, and you should expect to exceed expectations of the client.
