MSCI reviews

We continue to get better and more positive feedback from our people on our work environment , but we not perfect and occasionally someone is not a good match with our culture. In those cases we try to part ways constructively and respectfully. While layoffs are a normal part of any business we try to minimize their use. We annually lay off less than 2% of the workforce on a global basis which we believe is very moderate and normal. MSCI is truly a global firm, with offices in 33 locations in 23 countries. We strive to hire the best possible talent capable of contributing directly to MSCI’s success. MSCI regularly evaluates our compensation and benefits programs using a data-driven approach to ensure we remain competitive within the markets in which we compete for talent. When we provide career opportunities for our global employees we use this information regarding our decisions around hiring, location changes and compensation with an eye towards competitive pay in all our locations. Regardless of where our talent is located, our main goal is to create value for our clients, shareholders and employees while working cohesively across locations in line with the OneMSCI philosophy.
