Pros

- Flexible remote/work-from-home policy since pandemic.

Cons

- Poor collaboration within and across teams. Silo culture. - You'll only progress if your ideas are in line with those of your bosses; otherwise, they will take out of projects/accounts entirely. Conform, or you are out. - No clear career progression paths and zero incentives for more junior people.

Thank you for your review, we take comments on Glassdoor very seriously. Innovation is at our heart, and it is driven by our colleagues, we appreciate every new idea. We even encourage our employees to set an innovation goal for the year. MSCI evaluates managers annually based on their engagement scores and their ability to retain talented employees. All employees have the opportunity to give anonymous feedback to managers though our engagement survey. In addition, we would encourage you to share your feedback with your local HR Generalist.
