      Pros

      Well recognized brand and market leader in benchmark indexing. Decent lateral and geographic mobility especially with more experience. Global presence and strong, diverse client base facilitate the educational process.

      Cons

      Senior management is reluctant to get involved with and understand the details of critical products and use cases. Growth in organic businesses (indexes, risk analytics) has been challenging as the company has achieved strong market share with the appropriate clients, but then struggles to innovate beyond the profile of the "typical" client. Instead, growth comes from acquisitions and a lot of pressure around meeting shorter term sales objectives. Efforts would be better spent on medium term strategic planning across all product lines - especially those recently acquired.

      Pros

      Good work life balance, senior people are accessible and easy to talk to, regular pay check, flexible with regards to relocation.

      Cons

      Constant reshuffling of leadership, seems disorganized, many different cultures from the various companies that have been acquired by MSCI.

      Pros

      Earlier strong brand. Earlier humane and fair place. Some incompetent and abusive management has taken their act elsewhere.

      Cons

      Competition catching up after morale split apart and productivity down. We can't seem to stay on track and are lucky the market hasn't corrected more. The sales and facilities management often seem just going along for the ride. Especially if there are parties and maybe even a little shopping involved. Horrible behavior and tricky poltics. Sprecial friends of senior managemnt survive by party offering and name dropping. Doing very little work but taking credit. Their incompetent behavioirs are totally allowed. And we've seen them really try to detstroy others who are onto them. A pathetic and careless management allows this. Who knows? Just a tactic to save more money in addition to extreme outsourcing?
