      No value of Tech Talents, experienced people are leaving every month

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company if you are the share holder or if you are the client.

      Cons

      If you are a tech person then you will be in the bottom of the food chain. Most of the experienced and talented developers have left and leaving every month. They are also slowly killing the old culture that made me pick this company when I was looking for a job. Some senior upper management officers are biased against women devs.

      MSCI is at its root, a Content, Platform and Technology company. In support of this we have a robust and aggressive Technology strategy which has been wholly endorsed by the Executive Committee and the Board and significant investments in key initiatives have been consistently approved and are progressing well. As a company and as a Technology Services function we desire and welcome diversity in all roles and are an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse workforce in all respects. It is the policy of the Firm to ensure equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment. MSCI also has a zero tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind. Not only do we have strong gender diversity on our Executive Committee and Board, but we also have a strong and active Women’s Leadership Forum with representation globally, which helps all MSCI employees learn and become stronger leaders through various avenues.

      Employees treated poorly - High turnover

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most of the late nights/all-nights can be handled from home. Vacation days are generous.

      Cons

      High turnover is a problem. This company cannot keep good people because they treat them so poorly, like promoting people with "dry" promotions (you take on the responsibility, but you don't get the title or the pay). They only promote once a year, so anyone who takes on a new, bigger job, has to perform the job for a year before there is any chance of promotion. Then, many times, the promotion still doesn't come. I hate to admit this, but I see this especially with women,who are rarely promoted - and frankly, rarely hired. Also, there is no respect for family, or personal time. The company comes first. The company always has a reason to give slim bonus/compensation packages, even in the best years. Almost everyone in the office is looking for a job.

      Greed yand hectic culture

      Executive director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some smart people around. Competitors aren't much better. Dynamic culture. Lots of aggressive managers, male and female. It's like Wall Street without the big bonuses

      Cons

      Too much greed. Comp doesn't reward hard work nor results. Or is it only top management who gets well paid? Career upside is only for sales people Hectic. TOO MUCH politics.
