Flexible schedule, incompetent managers

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Love the WFH flexibility

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home (varies by department, but my manager completely trusts me to work from home. No babysitting). Nice people Exciting projects

Cons

Working in a tech focused role, I often need access to new tech or software. MSCI is so stratified that often the person who understands the problem is not the person who has the privileges to fix the problem. This can often lead to weeks-long chase downs before access is given. Wastes a lot of time and causes unnecessary frustration
