Was once a great place to work - Recensione dipendente - Analyst presso MSCI

Formerly Barra, this was once a place that had a grad school atmosphere and was a market leader of institutional analytics. The brainpower and product knowledge and support was unrivaled then, but a lack of leadership in management and inability to harness and support talent lead to a steady bleed of talented individuals to its competitors. However some talent remains, especially on the research side, where a few from old Barra remain, so there is still some niche opportunity for learning. Its sunny downtown Berkeley location is ideal for commuters and the atmosphere remains somewhat relaxed. Consideration for work/life balance can vary greatly with your department and supervisor.
