MSCI reviews

(a.) No consistent policies, and career progressions are decided by the whims and fancies of the manager who himself/herself may be highly incompetent and not placed properly for that job. (b.) Promotions are not decided by the merits or your performance, but is determined by how much you market yourself to have done, and on the pleasure of manager, and perhaps even team. (c.) Interview process is itself debetable given that they have over the last few years hired highly incompetent people. For instance, sales guy (from some unknown fly-the-night colleges) have been picked for technical roles (with fake training with even managers hand-in-glove in such activities), and marketed to clients. Unfortunately, clients get a raw deal for the premium they pay for the products. (d.) Only hard-working guys are asked to work more and slog, while weeds are asked to enjoy. (e.) Business decisions sometimes you feel are taken by the Corporate Services team. (f.) Most of the time you are involuntarily dragged into team and inter-team politics. (g.) You spend most of the time just to get the help or your work done/streamlined, as almost all the teams consider themselves as fief-doms.

1) Typical bank like formal culture 2) Some projects were good but if you end up in a bad project your life will become hell 3) Firing/Threats were frequent 4) No support from management . For ex you will be asked to come on a weekend for deployment and later asked to arrange your own food. 5) Management think its their company and not employee's company 6) project managers does not trust their employees for ex : manager checks timeline for a task with multiple people individually because they think employee take buffer and they should get it done in minimum period
