I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MSCI in Aug 2011
Interview
Be ready to discuss a lot of logic questions. It was also a very long interview. After an initial interview, then they have you do a technical test. I opted out of going further in the interview process because I decided to go a different way with my career.
I had a negative experience because I hadn't been in the industry long and wasn't prepared for the pressure of having to work through problems out loud for them to see how I processed information. If you're ready for that, then you shouldn't have a negative experience.
