IT dept is a bit backwards with narrow skill sets for such a large company.

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Willing to train you on courses that you might need. They are very considerate to personal circumstances. Modern offices in good location lots of nice places to eat. Relaxed dress code. Big company with nice benefits, they do try hard.

Cons

Depending on department, progression is quite poor and knowledge sharing is non existent. The IT department is also very conservative and at least half the senior staff are unwilling to be adventurous with technology decisions or try new things. There is also a culture of eschewing conventions and standards.

The best rating agency to work for...although it doesn't amount to much these days.

Associate director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to learn, the company is flexible in moving analysts around and cross-training. Exposed to many facets of investments/finance, junior members are expected/required to contribute meaningfully to the rating process.

Cons

Promotions seem arbitrary and heavily influenced by personality, specifically who you know and/or working well with others (which promotes group think). Smart and diligent analysts typically leave for higher-paying jobs so what you end up with is a barbell workforce with many junior analysts and a few senior managers, who become complacent and lazy...offloading work to junior members.
