Pros
Up and coming CRA with lean & profitable business model. Well paid if you are senior manager ok for VPs and up. Good and improving structured finance FIG and sovereign franchise in Europe. The president Dan Curry is a credible and well regarded manager, but cannot say the same of other senior management. Good mix of professionals from banks and other rating agencies in NY & London,Toronto is relatively weak .
Cons
Several organisational problems lack of coordination across regional offices. Toronto office is sleepy and un dynamic, NY and London are growing with better quality staff. Family run business that may be sold in the medium term. Increasingly bureaucratic & top heavy staff who rest on their laurels. Uneven and old fashioned management model.
