Pros

Name Recognition Big Footprint The work is sometimes interesting, challenging, and engaging. Lower level staff is intelligent, generous, and kind.

Cons

Dysfunctional atmosphere. Leadership unstable, secretive, and tends to say one thing and do another. Constantly shifting priorities make career success difficult... have to be in the right place at the right time to advance rather than be great at your job.

RiskMetrics is Satisfying

Pros

RiskMetrics was a fun place to work. Open collaboration between groups from the CEO to Fianance to Managers to Sales, etc. Everyone has a say and managers listen.

Cons

The dynamics are different in each office, which is expected, however management seemed to want a one size fits all approach. In some respects this is difficult, as different offices have different cultures. One size does not fit all. The upper management says they're open and transparent but many decisions have come as a surprise. RiskMetrics has also just been acquired by MSCI.

Pros

Great people, great atmosphere (for now), ability to work on projects not related to your area of expertise.

Cons

Being bought by a company that does not place as much value on their employees. Limited work/life balance as people are let go with no new hires coming in. Morale is also headed South based on all of the new rules and restrictions being put into place by MSCI.
