Morgan Stanley - Work Culture / Hours?

I will be a SA next summer at MS and was curious about what the culture and hours of the different IB groups at the bank are like. Who gets worked the most? Which ones have the strongest culture? Which are most receptive to on / off cycle recruiting?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about Morgan Stanley's work culture and hours:

General Culture and Hours: Some groups at Morgan Stanley are known for having tough hours, particularly due to high deal flow. This is not necessarily due to demanding Managing Directors (MDs) but rather the volume of work.
Specific Groups: While the context does not provide detailed information on which specific groups at Morgan Stanley have the toughest hours, it does mention that groups like industrials and tech can have challenging hours due to deal flow.

For more detailed insights, you might want to explore specific threads or discussions on WSO related to Morgan Stanley's different IB groups.
