Pros

- Salary - Work Life Balance - Friendly managers (most of them) The average tenure of employees is longer than most fintech companies. This is because the company has ensured a good culture and competitive pay. Everyone I knew was happy with their salaries. Also, the company encourages a helpful and healthy team culture. I enjoyed my time over there.

Cons

- Past many years company has not been very competitive. So not a lot of technical projects - The internal mobility options are not easy to avail. Every hiring manager prefers a ready candidate from outside rather than someone who can learn and grow into the role.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback — and for everything you contributed to MSCI over the years. We're glad you enjoyed your time here. We're committed to creating meaningful opportunities for our people to develop, and internal mobility is one of many ways we support career growth. All positions are advertised internally before being posted externally and we encourage regular career conversations between our people and their managers to support individual ambitions. We agree that leadership has an out-sized impact on team culture and performance — we hold our leaders to a high standard and work to identify and address issues quickly when they arise. On our business strategy, MSCI is actively expanding into private assets, multi-asset class solutions and custom index capabilities, and AI is enabling an accelerated pace of product creation. That growth translates directly into the work our people do — a broader set of challenges to solve, new capabilities to build and more ambitious projects.
