Not good for long term career

Vice president

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work Life Management and lot to learn if you can get a decent project through politics. If you are below average, then you have higher chances of getting promotion.

Cons

MSCI has more EDs and VPs than analysts. One has to constantly watch their back to ensure nobody backstabs them as people management is extremely bad at managing finger pointing and do not acknowledge talented employee's work. Lack of strategy.

Pros

Only high pay is a benifit

Cons

No Work Life balance. Expect to to work till late night and even on weekends. No Job Security. Fire employees for cost cutting in almost every quarter. Not at all employee friendly. Only care about its client. No real developement task. So no learning only mostly prod, application and release support
