Extremely dysfunctional management and culture. - Vice President (Former) MSCI Employee Review

Pros

Good for a very short-term early career move. Moving most support jobs to low-cost employment countries so no reason to stay.

Cons

A small number of insiders seem to be in charge at the top. Filled with people turned spineless and afraid of their superiors (and believe they should like it this way). Focus on a “meritocracy” culture to reward compensation but a competitive non-entrepreneur attitude is a result.
