Pros

-A global environment full of intelligent co workers -Flexible working hours -A career at the heart of the financial world -Quick (almost too quick) to adapt to changes

Cons

-Keeps incompetent local warlords who prefer to keep issues within Manila resulting in silos and reducing said global environment -Said warlords who know nothing about the work but insist on taking credit from their employees -Said warlords are also more keen on micromanaging their employees rather than empowering them -Said warlords also happen to harbor strong misogynist ideals -MSCI is unable to tame nor act on this hence the high turnover over the years

MSCI Response

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We appreciate the value you see in MSCI’s environment of being quick to adapt to changes and the flexible working environment. We are always focused on MSCI’s performance culture with initiatives to improve manager competency. Manager scores in our engagement survey remain very positive (above 85%) especially in the areas of Trust, communication and well-being and your positive comments are a testament to that. We do encourage employees who are experiencing issues to speak up and let their local HR representative know about their concerns. We are sorry that your experience with a certain manager wasn’t positive, and your feedback is very helpful. Thank you for the time you have spent in our company and wish you well in your future.
