Review of MSCI

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and working environment are both look fine but not less and unfortunately not more. Can improve skills such as how to follow up continously.

Cons

There is no training at all for IT engineer staff. Management sais you need to learn by yourself to avoid firing. Tracked presence in work such as have to spend the whole time inside. Cannot arrange any personal program for afternoons since you need beeing at workplace all the time.

Some very good people and some very odd decisions

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Intelligent people at just about every level. High degree of technology though the environment is locked down a bit. Indexing business makes money without trying and is thus the prized group. A sales company disguised as a financial tech company.

Cons

Lot of in-house applications which is ok but lead to random bugs. Tech decisions are all done out of the cadre in London while the implementation is done by a team in Budapest. Service Desk based in Mumbai can often lead to frustration. Hope you're looking for a position with the indexing side, otherwise look out.

It's all about the money

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, they even pay bonuses

Cons

Most decisions made with only cost in mind. If they can get it done cheaper outsde the U.S, it goes to Eastern Europe or Asia, and if that means it takes two days to get a simple communication done (like a manager answering a question), they don't care. Discussion about improvements to products always end with "We don't have the resources." Layoffs happen every year and are done by a formula, with no attention to quality of work.
