Thank you for taking your time to share your feedback on Glassdoor. We are glad to hear that you enjoy the flexibility that MSCI’s Future of Work provides to our teams, by allowing them to find the balance between working from the office and from home that best enables them to deliver on their goals and best meet the needs of our clients. At MSCI, we participate in various benchmarking studies from relevant industries and firms that reassure us that we are rewarding people in an appropriate and realistic way. Our compensation is designed to be internally appropriate considering individual performance and contribution. As a company that has called upon capital-markets participants to help drive the transition to net-zero, we strive to reduce our own firm’s carbon footprint. This includes the review of business travel across all of our offices on a case-by-case basis, encouraging virtual meetings instead where it makes sense.
