Business Outlook

Pros

Have to opportunity to work from home if in the development space.

Cons

Depending on the team you are with you could be spending a lot of time trying to get other teams to so their job so you can do yours. There are tons of project managers and a dwindling team of developers. The work the developers do will be accredited to someone else. Thankless only barely begins to describe being a developer here.

We care about our employees very much through all stages of their career at MSCI—from the day they arrive and throughout their tenure at the firm. Engagement of our employees is always a top priority. MSCI has many programs and opportunities for our people ranging from training and development to Employee Resource Groups, philanthropy events, and corporate sponsored fun days. Our promotion philosophy is solidly based upon many concrete factors such as performance ,contributions ,impact in role, and demonstration of MSCI Values. Finally, we encourage employee driven conversations with managers on a regular basis and promote a culture of feedback and goal achievement, not micro management.
