About You
Excellent experience, was given a good overview of all the major parts of the firm, as well as a deep look into the culture of the firm.
Very valued. It was particularly evident that this is a firm which values junior and senior talent alike.
Plenty - we worked on many group exercises under the guidance of analysts/associates.
As a physics student, it did not assist with my degree - however, hoping to begin a career in this industry, it was an incredible experience to pick up the useful skills.
The Company
Very well organized! Nothing to complain about!
Welcoming and friendly. Everyone worked well together and helped each other.
A lot of time was put into both group projects (M&A case studies etc) and workshops on taking charge of our careers etc.
Speaking to people in the firm, it was hard not to be impressed by the culture and working conditions Morgan Stanley gives.
Similarly to above, from speaking to people it was evident how impactful the culture is. Furthermore, a full day of our programme was dedicated to the culture of the firm, which speaks a lot.
This helped me realize specifically which area of investment banking I was interested in pursuing - one which I hadn't heard of before the week!
Everything Else
Accommodation provided and flights reimbursed.
Plenty of coffee mornings and networking lunches. As well, before and after the day it was possible to meet with employees by sending an email - people were incredibly helpful in this regard.
Many days afterwards, we went to the bar after/together for lunch.
This was covered in good detail on the day we got an overview of the company's culture.
Absolutely - I couldn't recommend it more highly!
