CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good friendships Free coffee Once per week fruit days

Cons

You will do support for sales reps. No direct client communication, however they told me that I will be in contact with institutional and corporate clients directly in contact. You will have to do what sales reps say and do the paperwork on their behalf. So no new knowledge you will get during your employment. Just work non-stop. You need to be available 24/7 when they are texting you via teams. No centralised knowledge base. Be careful of toxic manager there. That person won’t help you in anything although manager will mention all the time that “I am ready to help anytime” but this particular “manager”will abuse you, humiliate you in front of everyone when you ask question. Be careful when you considering to apply to sales analyst position

Pros

This is one firm who will pay you well...you dont have to negotiate Technology is at extreme advanced level. Many new things in market get implemented here. Multiple events happening through out the year that keeps employee engaged. Opportunities to get relocated.

Cons

Biased people at management level. HR policies are mostly on paper. Employee-Manager engagement happens when deadline is close. Goals are set only to be put in system and work does not flow with it. Firing is rampant. No job security. Work life balance is mixed. Depends on which team you are in as well as on your Manager.

Pros

Correct overall package given by MSCI

Cons

Msci asks a lot of investment but does not rewards accordingly. It pretends to be a meritocraty but you should better negotiate your salary when hired rather than to expect it will progress.
