Pros

smart people, with a very good work-life balance. Fitch maintains reasonable hours for its employees and many people who choose to stay, do so for a long period.

Cons

Limited creative thinking, bureaucratic. The pay is also lower than other firms of its kind. But, from what reports show, employees at Fitch are happier than those analysts at their counterparts.
