Pros
Good office locations, good benefits, access to leading edge financial research, access to clients where you can network. Indices business is a cash cow.
Cons
MSCI strategy to create shareholder value is to build low cost operations in low cost countries like India, Mexico, Budapest and Oklahoma. There is a lack of trust in staff. Onerous process driven culture inhibits creativity. Seniority resides with former Morgan Stanley guys who have no new ideas and aren't going anywhere. Overall it's a depressing environment.
