Pros

Recognition as a credit analyst.

Cons

Ability to claw back as a brand after the subprime debacle. The brand has taken a beating in the press and in the congress with the way the ratings were deemed to fail how it communicated credit worthiness of the security to investors. It will be interesting to see what legislature decides as the role credit rating agencies will play in the future of capital markets. The next few months and even a year will redefine the way the company will evolve- most certainly it wont enjoy its position as it did pre-2007.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Decent benefit.

Cons

They don't pay you much. They don't treat engineers as profession. They think engineers are all the same and can swap any of them them with joiner engineers or contractors. They thought they can hire a contractor for 4 months for a project. They took a full month to get a laptop for a contractor, took one more month to get them through onboarding, then took one more month to get them use to the codebase, then the contractor wrote one line, then the 4 months was up. We had to repeat the process with a new contractor.
