MSCI Work Culture is Good . Growth as per Industry standard- Would mark growth a bit moderate in terms of Salary and designation. Usually 7-11% Hike per year.and 3year for promotion. Good learning as work pressure is dominating.Good to build career as there is good exposure of SOC and tools Self Skill progress is Moderate. MSCI support Certification /learning etc and also reimburses for the same on showing the reciept. Cafeteria is Good , Hygenic and health food and supplies. Delicious /external food vendor with delicious food and various menu served during festivals etc ,

Cons

There are few cons- Offcourse it depends on individual and team members .VP level team Manager of SOC- arrogant ,egoistic,also have less granular knowledge for security,possibly he is not from Core Info Sec background. Hire and fire can be seen through out organizations . HR Team is not fair enough and does not hear of Staff Employee rather HR works on backdoor instructions as per team manager. As usuall there are peers who are foot lickers of team VP/ Managers so be cautious.
