Pros

decent salary, challenging work, innovative ideas rewarded. excellent growth opportunities for hard-working and accountable employees. No politics. your work will speak itself. transparent on future vision. No unnecessary meetings.

Cons

hours are flexible but tracked. must put at least 9 hours. many times people get burned out. WFH is discouraged. sick leaves are investigated. too much pressure to perform. production is taken very seriously, many people scared to put anything into production. outdated and very slow and tiring deployment process. low bonus and hike. middle management unable to handle the pressure and pass it down, start finger-pointing and demotivate the employees. no trust in employees and keep getting watched secretly. many leads interrogate in a scrum

Thank you for your comments and feedback, organizations such as Glassdoor are an important source of information for us. We are delighted to read that you have identified some of the areas we are most proud of at MSCI – challenge, innovation, growth opportunities and accountability, with a focus on the future and our strategy. Please be assured that employees are not watched or monitored outside of usual good management practices. Working flexibly, including working from home, will depend on the nature of the role and immediate deliverables but we are empathetic in our approach to requests and accommodate where feasible and possible. We are a trust and engagement driven organization and do not support the culture you are describing. Please feel confident in raising any such concerns to your manager or your Human Resources contact locally who will help address and change any isolated incidents.
