Pros

Salary is the only pro.

Cons

Don't fall for the salary they offer. Worst company to work. No work life balance. Lot of favouritism. Clueless, directionless and biased management. Fake urgency to complete the work even if it's not inline with requirements.

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
