Pros

-Immediate managers are very supportive -Lots of flexibility to work -Lots of opportunities to learn -A friendly global environment

Cons

-Increases happen once a year and tend to be below the industry average. Not only that but because promotions are so rare - your salary tends to stagnate (net decrease even due to inflation and higher taxes) even though your workload increases. -Only real way to grow is to move between teams or move to a new company and go back to MSCI. -Local office is full of internal politics because only a select few executives makes decisions for the entire region. Due to this, there's alot of "looking good" done for higher ups (hiding problems etc). -Will tend to hire outsider instead of considering internal promotions. -Reimbursement process is terrible. -Supports work-from-home schemes but does not pay for electricity nor compensates employees in any reasonable way. Local office heads discourage such discussion hence the problem persists.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we appreciate your feedback and take it into consideration to keep improving. MSCI is determined to offer a salary to each employee that’s on par with the market – for this reason we take part in benchmarking studies from relevant industries and firms to make sure we are rewarding our people in an appropriate and realistic way. When MSCI has an open role to fill, we always look first at the talented people we already have within the firm. We aim to move people into new roles that are the right fit for their skills, experiences and ambitions while also supporting the firm’s goals, and we want to make sure that every open position gets filled by the candidate (internal or external) who fits the role the most.
