      Strong focus on cost cutting and margin expansion. Not so much on career development....

      Pros

      Great global footprint. Smart people in all departments and at all levels. Strong strategic focus. People who know how to deliver strong results.

      Cons

      Some very senior managers show no loyalty to staff. Some emerging markets offices never receive visits from senior managers. Loyalty is not evenly rewarded. Promotions at the highest levels are motivated for reasons other than merit-based.

      Pros

      MSCI Barra has wonderful products, talented people, and a great client list. You will learn a lot.

      Cons

      Opportunity to move up can be dangled like a carrot for years. Little respect for personal time. Pay does not seem connected to performance.
