It most definitely isn't what it once was prior to going public and not even as recently as two years ago. - Senior Associate Moody's Employee Review

Pros

Formal debt/credit training and education especially if you have no prior knowledge/experience of debt/credit analysis. Professional development continues this theme by requiring all analysts to complete a certain number (dependent upon seniority level) of required classes/hours per year.

Cons

Recognizing the inherent need for a rating agency to adhere to regulatory compliance, there is excessive bureaucracy and processes even for a large organization. Negative connotations associated with the name given recent credit market developments. Definite lack of promotional prospects.

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.
