Pros

Work/Life balance is not an issue. Hours are quite reasonable. Pretty stable environment without fear of getting caught in a across the board layoff-Good Job security Senior mgt is very accessible and keeps everyone up to date to company/industry developments

Cons

No means of growth beyond your current job description in support functions. Do not expect to come in and transfer to another role/department. Moody's brand value has taken a hit over the past couple years. Will take some time to earn back the respect of the financial community. Team concept is overshawdowed by individual interests.
