Pros

DBRS is an excellent place to gain an overview of the Canadian market. With it's insight and contacts nto every major Canadian player, DBRS provides any employee with a strong foundation to set off their career.

Cons

Compensation compared to the rest of the industry is below average, considering the number of hours worked. Flexibility in work hours are limited, and expectations are that analysts need to be there 9-6 most days ((sually more). Due to the company being a family owned business, nepotism and favourites run rampant. There are lots of non producers and bottle necks that are kept, even after a layoff session.
