      Excellent Work-Life Balance and High level of Job Security

      Pros

      1. MSCI's index business is subscription based and MSCI has been one of the leaders in this industry for a very long time. Due to this long standing creditability and stability in the industry, MSCI Clients continue to choose MSCI year after year. For employees, this often means high level of job security. Salaries are great and generally on the higher side. The salary structure is awesome with a very high basic salary component (almost 60% of your total salary). This means the PF contributions are big and company matches what you contribute to your PF accounts. Yearly Bonus are over and above salaries and often range between 5-20% of your yearly salary, depending on which team you are on and how critical the contribution of the team is to the overall companies objective and strategic goals. Work life balance is excellent. I have seen people choosing their own flexible work hours depending on which location onsite they are supporting.

      Cons

      Most of the teams have management based in developed markets location, like new York/London. The team in emerging locations do not have much growth in terms of leadership roles, and most of the things at project level are managed and controlled by onsite managers. The quality of work, especially in location like India, can be often more on the support side, and less of new projects. Do not expect too much of job level satisfaction out of your work at MSCI, most of the time it is just routine activity.

      Pros

      It is a great work-life balance. You are able to leave work at a reasonable time and have commitments after works.

      Cons

      If you are a person who wants to get things done, there is still a lot of bureaucracy and protocols you have to go through.
