Great place to start your career in finance

Pros

Fitch is a great place to gain exposure to a variety of issuers and business transactions. They also have a great policy for continuing education.

Cons

Obviously, the ratings industry is going through a tumultuous period at the moment, and have fallen out of favor with many investors and the general public. UNseen future legislation could negatively impact future growth prospects at the agencies. However, it could also present some interesting opportunities.

Fitch is an okay place to grow your financial career.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good place for recent graduates and experienced hires with in-depth knowledge of a specific industry. Good experience in learning how to use financial models, present to committees, and write industry reports.

Cons

It can be extremely political place to work. Promotions and recognition are often based on relationships not on professional skills and aptitude. Junior and experienced analysts often leave to get higher pay and recognition at Wall Street firms. Office locations outside of NY can be a disadvantage for experienced hires. They are often not really included in key client accounts or strategic initiatives.

Business Outlook

Pros

Reputed firm, good visibility, good place to learn.

Cons

HR policies produce a negative selection: good employees learn and either are given an opportunity or leave; not so good stay... but might eventually get promoted as well because of "time around".
