Pros

Opportunity to work with and learn from some of the brightest technology folks.

Cons

-Old and outdated tech stack. -No job security at all. -The policies and benefits are nowhere close to other similar companies. -As per the HR leadership, employees are nothing but mere resources to achieve organization's objective. -You could be the best in what you do, but if you mess with either your manager or your HR partner, they'll find a way to get you out of the company.

Thank you for your feedback - we are glad to note you enjoyed working with the brightest minds in technology. We pride ourselves in attracting the best talent and working hard to keep everyone engaged. With regards to benefits, over the past few years MSCI has completely redesigned its compensation & benefit structure with a view to increasing engagement, OneMSCI culture, and proactively linking pay for performance. We also particulate in various benchmarking studies from relevant industries and firms that reassures us that we are rewarding people in an appropriate and realistic way. We are sorry you feel the compensation and benefits provision was not in line with your expectations but please be assured we do review on an ongoing basis. We also aim to work in a fully transparent environment and offer lots of opportunities for raising concerns or speaking up. We are working hard across all products and functions to foster a collaborative, inclusive and open culture. When talent leaves us, it is not without careful and considered decisions that are always based on the role itself, and the business' future strategy and needs, rather than any relationships between employees. We are sorry you felt you were not heard and wish you every success in your future career.
