Pros

Flexible work hours and hybrid work setup. Reasonable basic pay.

Cons

Company wastes resources on retaining incompetent managers instead of employees who actually provide value. No clear guidance for promotions. Flat structure, very little opportunity for growth. No concrete metrics for assessing performance; highly variable “performance-based” bonus. Unreasonable workload and deadlines.

MSCI Response

Thank you for taking your time to write your review, we take comments on Glassdoor very seriously. MSCI evaluates managers annually based on their engagement scores and their ability to retain talented employees. All employees have the opportunity to give anonymous feedback to managers though our engagement survey. Our talent assessment and promotion process is merit based, and we have clear eligibility guidelines for each corporate title.
