Pros

1) People may get higher salary than they deserve in market otherwise. 2) Company was initially started by Morgan Stanly but spun off in 2009.

Cons

This review only applies to IT Data management department of MSCI.. 1) At the time of recruitment, they will use the words like data structures, algorithms, highly multi threaded applications and low latency systems. In reality you find nothing interesting there. 2) They always work in fire fighting mode with little planning. 3) They are not interested in improving upon the way software development is done. 4) Entire IT Data management department is nothing but a extended PRODUCTION SUPPORT which doesn't need good software developers. 5) People are not treated with respect. 6) Higher management is very closed minded.
