      Artificial culture, sales is policing and a false sense of 'excitement'

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Solid research teams across Barra and Index

      Cons

      ~ email driven culture driving inefficiencies ~ incompetent middle management ~ Dont be fooled, Sales is order taking from management and heavy policing (particularly index sales) across the market forcing licensing ~ Artificial culture where everyone is looking for company-wide exposure and a false sense of 'excitement' exists ~ MSCI needs to recognize that they are just a data vendor - no more ~ Unfortunate Investment banking culture which should not be present ~Promotion is based on politics and how many emails you have sent to gain exposure to senior management, be prepared

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility to work from home, ambitious work environment

      Cons

      long hours, too much emphasis on internal administrations and not enough time to actively work on core purpose, management is not progressive and encourages competitive attitude among colleagues, unrealistic expectations in sales, targets, and relative to compensation, not collaborative, unsupportive environment, not enough check and balances on managers, wrong values, HR has little power and is mostly useless
