Pros

You would really enjoy working with MSCI if you enjoy large amounts of data -- this is in a very broad spectrum which include collection, checking and analysis. Moreover, the job environment is quite relaxed compared to other investment analytics and financial institutions. Although, there are high pressure for work accuracy, it is manageable, especially if you are very open and enthusiastic about learning new things and processes. A very important part of working in MSCI is that you have a strong interest in finding the use and impact of your work to the customer.

Cons

If you are not comfortable with processes, this is not the work environment for you. Moreover, if you are not the type of person who likes to pick on the smallest details, then MSCI may not be the advisable working environment for you.

Pros

Good atmosphere and fun colleagues. The work is not necessarily rewarding, but can be interesting. A good place to start off and learn the finance industry. Pay is competitive but not excessive. Top workers are rewarded.

Cons

Top executives are only focused on revenue growth and shareholder return, not employees. This creates a culture where there is a lot of uncertainty about what top management will do in the short or medium term.
