      Pros

      MSCI Inc is a great company to work but experience varies from team to team. I got an opportunity to work in ESG department which is one of the highest growing department in every aspect. 1. Nice thing about MSCI is it reviews compensation annually so if yours in below industry standard then they can increase it in mid-year review. 2. Annual review is as per the industry standard and may be a bit higher. 3. Mangers are supportive and give importance to personal development too.

      Cons

      Risk of job as with all US based company. Position is not related to compensation so it may be possible that a junior can have higher compensation than yours.

      Working for RiskMetrics was one of the best employment experiences of my career.

      Pros

      RiskMetrics had a culture that promoted and rewarded competence, and strong hiring practices that ensured you would be working alongside people who were good at what they did. Senior management promoted an egalitarian culture that is uncommon in the finance industry, and put real effort into making everyone feel valued. Risk-taking was encouraged, and failure was generally seen as a learning experience that wouldn't necessarily cost anyone their job or seriously damage their career. The best part for me was being surrounded by smart colleagues who were strongly committed, challenged me and helped me raise my game, no matter what the context. It wasn't always fun, but it was always worth the effort.

      Cons

      RiskMetrics was never a very large company in terms of headcount, job turnover was relatively low for the industry, and opportunities for advancement were consequently few. Management structures were reorganized frequently, but never to very great effect. Sometimes it seemed like they were just reshuffling chairs. There was a core group of people with a lot of equity who were effectively a protected class, and over the years a few of them were warehoused in ineffective roles just to keep them around. There was a lot of gossip and back-biting, which could sometimes amount to a meaningful distraction.
