★★★★☆ - A great company - - Anonymous - 7/19/2009 - flag as inappropriate - comment
I worked for morgan stanley for almost 5 years- definitely one of the greatest investment bank on the street. It has several divisions: Institutional Securities, Investment Management, Private Wealth Management and Discover Card (spinned off in December 2006). With 600 offices in 33 countries around the world, it has an estimated workforce of 45,000. The firm enjoys a high reputation among its peers, even before its competitors Bear Sterns, Lehman Brother and Merrill Lynch all went bankrupt or were acquired during the latest recession in 2008.

After the financial crisis started in September 2008, Japanese bank Mitsubishi UFJ closed a deal to buy 21% of Morgan Stanley on October 14, 2008. Currently the firm is experiencing some re-structuring to reflect the ownership structure change.

Salaries are probably lower than what are offered at Goldman Sachs, but on the same level with most other top-tier i-banks.

Most of the H1b workers there are IT programmers, but they also hire a lot of quantitative modelers, financial analysts, project managers, and research associates from other countries.

Their H1b process is handled by Fragomen, the well known immigration law firm that represents many wall street companies and Fortune 500 corporations. Their paralegals will request a list of documents from H1b candidates to kick off the process and upon receiving all paperwork, the petition can usually be filed within one week, which is fairly efficient.
     qgbtSXFgqSFBPS - 7/18/2012 - I agree with Donna. The reason for refsual would have made quite clear to you at the time and yet you don't mention it in your question.The only reason you would have a National Insurance card in your name is if you were working. If you were on a visitors visa, you should not have been be working. The fact that you have a UK bank account in a country you are only visiting is not that unusual, but added to the NI card it is almost certainly looking as though you worked when you were last in the UK. UKBA can now check bank accounts of people seeking entry to the UK. If you have had regular payments such as a salary paid into it from a UK source, or made regular cash payments into it when you were last in the UK, that would prove you broke the conditions of your visa.If this is the case, you will almost certainly be refused a visitors visa again. You will also struggle to get a visa in any other EU country as immigration information is shared between the EU countries now. - flag
