      management needs serious people skills

      Pros

      Like most places, there are some really talented and intelligent people working here. You can escape the long hours and high stress of the investment banking world. MSCI pays well. Great benefits including gym membership discounts, backup daycare and 16 weeks of maternity leave.

      Cons

      Senior management is seriously lacking in both people and communication skills. Managers are rude and demotivating. Lackluster efforts to train staff in these areas just make things worse. MSCI pays well instead of investing in their people and programs to develop talent.

      Going downhill fast.

      Pros

      Decent work/life balance with four weeks of vacation standard. There's some really talented people. Benefits were decent but going downhill quickly.

      Cons

      Top heavy, revolving door management. Archaic policies are stifling innovation and moral. Decreasing benefits and extreme cost cutting measures due to a activist shareholder securing a board seat.

      Thank you for providing us with your feedback. Please reach out to your local HR Generalist immediately to discuss any unprofessional treatment as this is unacceptable. MSCI has worked diligently to provide multiple avenues and opportunities for employees to provide feedback to senior management, their managers and colleagues. Companies like Glassdoor are an important source of improvement data and we take the opinions of current and past employees very seriously. MSCI is dedicated to furthering our OneMSCI culture. Our focus on creating clear expectations, frequent feedback opportunities and a high performance culture through Success@MSCI have resulted in significant improvements in Berkeley employee engagement in the past two years. We will continue to build on this momentum and strive for world-class employee engagement. As a matter of record, our attrition in Berkeley is exceptionally low. We believe this is a reflection of the fact our employees are engaged and like working for MSCI.
