Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
How reachable they all are.
They seems to have good intentions to implement and follow through with good employee experience and work/life balance.
Many of our leaders have been with MSCI since the beginning. They believe in the mission.
Leadership and Financially well run management
New technology adoption dynamic cutting edge
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Cut out Deadwood, especially at the top
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Most of the compensation is in cash.
Yearly bonus that is based on personal performance as well as company performance
PTO, sick leave, HSA, 401K
Great bonus and stock options
Performance stock and options grants
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel that I do the work of multiple people and that I have a very broad skill set but that I'm limited by the level I was hired at.
Groupism and blue eyed boy syndrome, entrenched and unresponsive to what is important to grow, too much chasing media noise and not enough awareness of what is important for structural growth
steep learning curves and hit the ground running are all too well, but when decisions don't get taken, nor is there implementation of ideas beyond show window dressing, the 'kitchen battles' are likely to hit output. very high churn shows how exhausted people get, which compensation alone can't fix
What are some of the best things about your team?
Collaborative, knowledgeable, direct but caring, and prompt.
Everyone loves the finance space.
Strong team leadership and personalities
Great camaraderie, highly skilled, reliable
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less ppt n meetings, more gruntwork
ingroup-outgroup culture, aversion to helping others visible in silos; effective and friendly people are dumped with work while do-the-leasts and people pleasers band to ensure enthusiasm gets drained rapidly
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Remote work was a positive experience.
Many people of diverse backgrounds
Good team culture and quality people
Team spirit performance driven client centric
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The amount of work that is expected to get done to meet someone else's arbitrary deadline.
Growth mindset is really needed.
Overhaul of legacy personnel and infrastructure
probably part of the zoom and covid isolation is responsible, but you cannot have culture without interaction that is open and honest. A hybrid workplace is unlikely to foster sanitization. People have worked collaboratively in other places for decades, but not here
What did you like most about the interview process?
I felt like my recruiter really understood my capabilities beyond my resume.
ALl interviews have been remote
Meeting people from around the team
apparently open discussion, though multilayered
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Three months to hire, multiple rounds of interviews ...is crazy if you have no intention of retaining people with proper training
What makes you most happy at work?
When I get to work on projects that make an actual impact.
My coworkers and exposure to the C-Suite
Great products, esg and amazing people
Contributing to something that is actually meaningful in the long term
My work is meaningful, and I do take pride in it
