      Pros

      RiskMetrics has a very diverse group of employees from different cultural and professional background which makes for interesting conversations and interactions.

      Cons

      Decision-making is more driven by office politics and hearsay than by rational objectivity. There is little accountability for poor performance at upper managerial levels.

      Acquisition by MSCI is a bid culture clash. It's much more rigid, less entrepreneurial, more bureaucratic and less fun

      Pros

      The people are extremely smart, dedicated, curious, and humble and relaxed. That is changing with MSCI merger, but that legacy won't die too easily. You are given the opportunity to run with your ideas. Th culture is flat, and fun and relaxed, even thought it's Wall St.

      Cons

      Cost cutting is so aggressive and arbitrary that it canibalizes growth in business lines that really ought to be growing. Lots of big promises that are consistently broken. The pay is significantly below average. Flat structure often means there are too many cooks to move things forward. Emphasis on being respectful and empathetic, means that incompetent, conniving people who are also pretty nice guys, get promoted. MSCI does not and will not recognize how much the culture keeps us loyal, and there is a massive exodus of talent which has begun and will not abate anytime soon
