Morgan Stanley Chicago Office

I was wondering if you guys had any information about the MS Chicago Office?
How many summer analysts do they usually take?
What are some of the groups in the office?
What are their strong groups?

And any general information is appreciated.

 

They take a few summers every year but I would exercise extreme caution with this office. You'll have Morgan Stanley on your resume and it'll be really easy to lateral to wherever you want in whatever city you want, but there's not much more to say other than they are known for being pricks and having a terrible culture. You'll be miserable, and I would take many Chicago offices and almost any semi-prestigious New York office over MS Chicago.

 

only guy i know who did analyst there ended up at magnetar afterwords

don't know much else about the office though. supposedly a complete sweatshop, mostly middle market deals. they claim to execute out of the office "when possible," but not really sure what that means. tiny office, like three analysts per class.

 

Thanks for the information. Based on this information the class size is only 3-4 analysts and the deal flow would be solid because of MS but its all going to be Mid Mkt. Did the interns you guys knew continue for FT over there. Exit opps from the office seem to be decent just because of the brand name. I guess their main target schools would be Chicago and Northwestern. Any more information would be much appreciated.

 

Industrials and consumer retail focus is true. I would consider MS the #2 to JPM in Chicago. As far as culture, it is a very tight nit group with about 20-30 bankers in total (7-8 analysts, I know of one each from USC and ND). They have a Vice Chairman who sits there as well. Core schools for their office are definetely ND and UofM- many people in the office are huge Notre Dame fans and they actually have company events around the Fighting Irish football season. IMHO (FWIW) the office was a bit too fratty for my liking (even the senior bankers).
