Great for Work/Life balance.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fitch respects work/life balance, which can be unusual in the finance sector. The management hierarchy is flat (though recently there has been additional depth added) which can be refreshing.

Cons

Over the last several years, morale has fallen significantly because of the the high level of attention and criticism of the business model, yet no where near as much attention paid to the quality of research.
