Fantastic people can’t fill this gap

Senior analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic people. Group is small so lots of mobility to cover different sectors. Work-from-home equipment allowance.

Cons

Terrible pay and no room for discussion on it. Direct competitors compensation are on GlassDoor and are very accurate. Go there instead. Poor vacation time and sick time policy. No accommodations for WFH outside of the pandemic. They want employees back now and will fire you otherwise. Promotion process can be very unfair. Was told that promotions don’t occur within first year, but a colleague who joined after me (a man..) was promoted.

Great career path and opportunity

Business Outlook

Pros

The longer I work here, the more I learn. Yes, there are challenges, but they are interesting. The leaders on my team are really invested in my career growth and have given me opportunities to learn and do more. One person in particular has taken me under their wing to not only ask what I'm interested in doing , but also making sure I get the opportunity, or am prepared for the opportunity when it comes up. He is transparent and clear about where I need to improve while also pushing me to do new things. As a woman in finance, I find this to be a huge benefit for me down the road.

Cons

There are times when technology seems to be a bit behind the curve, but even there Fitch seems to be putting more time and energy in investing in new technology.

Business Outlook

Pros

People overall are professional. Most make the best of of it.

Cons

Zero training yet understanding of the firm's internal apps required to 'hit the ground running'. Zero application documentation, developers write the code and support production- and typically only one per app . IT Development runs the show are located in multiple countries including outsourced coders in India so time zone diff. Physical work conditions are like grade school homeroom without a locker.
