      Pros

      Intelligent and professional people. Good IT resources.

      Cons

      Top heavy organisational structure. Little room for promotions. Blame culture. Middle management absorbs most of the work and receives little reward.

      If you settle for mediocrity, MSCI may be the place for you

      Pros

      There are not a whole lot ... Well, decent work/life balance, however, that depends on which team you're on. 20 days of paid vacation was nice ... and the perks pretty much end there.

      Cons

      Top-heavy for sure. Relentless cost cutting is definitely taking a toll on the current staff. Just because you can hire five warm bodies in EMC with the same salary for one in DMC, it does not mean those five can perform up to par. Promotions hardly depend on merit. If you're mediocre (or even a slacker), you may still get to become an officer if you are patient and play your cards right. This was not hypothetical. It actually happened during my time with the company.

      Pros

      The company has a truly global footprint and is at the cutting edge in terms of some of the services it offers

      Cons

      Lack of staff loyalty to firm and vice versa typical of banking culture. Beholden to shareholders which has led to shortsighted decisions
