Fitch Ratings reviews

- Generally, the IT infra is very painfully 80s, esp for IT professionals. ThinkPad laptops, no proper work from home infrastructure. Mail and network downtime every other week. - Serious issues with maturity level or technical competence of technologists. You'll get a 'seniour analyst developer' who doesn't know how to set a classpath. You'll also get people who don't know how to check whether a process is running in an OS. Infra will give you contradicting information -- as an example I was denied an installation on my PC once by an Admin (citing security issues) , but was allowed to download it off the internet later! IT systems are a horror show to say the least. - More emphasis is laid upon staff following instructions rather than encouraging thought-leadership. People spend a lot of time following processes without adding business value. - Every job comes with it's fair share of 'work-place politics' but there is very subtle hectoring by 'Senior' staff. You won't grow in the firm based on your capability and deliverables. - No transparency -- management and staff are out-of-sync. - If you're a technologist, look elsewhere if you don't want to get choked.

As the smallest and the "hungriest" of the established credit rating agencies, there is more pressure to deliver more and faster. In times of high volume deal-flow, the work-life balance goes out the window.
