I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at MSCI (Mumbai) in Apr 2012
Interview
The company has a small presence in Mumbai. They are currently hiring mainly on the IT side but more migrations are expected. The interview processess is such that it starts off with the HR round, followed by 2 rounds with local managers. There is also a possibility that someone from a global location can take an interview since there are lot of positions that have global reporting. If all is cleared, there will be another HR round for salary negotiations. If you meet their expectations, they will roll out the offer for you.
The entire process takes around 2-4 weeks

Interview
Moved through interview process quite quickly, with 3 rounds of interviews in the span of 3 weeks. Ended up finding out over a month later that I was not selected after following up twice with HR. Frustrating process overall with the lack of communication despite positive interviews.
