Pros

Working hours are not excessive.

Cons

Very hierarchical, structure. It seems that only way to advance is to leave and return at higher grade.

Pros

10% pension scheme, can't think of anything else. Private Dental, Bupa, private GP service, cycle to work scheme. Nice building.

Cons

Toxic working environment because of lower management. They are vile people. Lots of back stabbing, bullying and very clicky . Lower management do not like change and feel threatened by new members of staff that have new ideas. Lower management do not like to train new members of staff properly and then blame the new staff members when mistakes happen. Too much blame culture going on instead of working as a team. Micro management is an understatement. I don't think my manager likes the job very much. Either sick or worked from home.

Thank you for your comment. MSCI evaluates managers annually based on their engagement scores and their ability to retain Top Talent. This is a process where we can learn as an organization where our poor managers are and what development needs they may have. All employees have the opportunity to give anonymous feedback to managers though our engagement survey. In adition, I would encourage you to share your feedback with your local HR Generalist.

Pros

MSCI pays well to those who do exactly what they are told. If you are happy with well defined job, where you invest your energy energy into obeying those above you, MSCI will treat you well.

Cons

It can be a depressing and oppressive place if you like ideas, if you are creative, or feel that the management does not always know best.
