Pros

Working in a company that has been acquired by moody, all the pros relate to the culture and people from this team. Pro from moodys are possibly the work from anywhere option and days off.

Cons

Weak management solely focused on stock price and short term financial metrics. Too much internal corporate communications with buzzwords and no substance. Compensation is bad and raises are not aligned with additional amount work done. Short term focus is draining employees and should be used once in bad years not in exceptionally good years. Our unit have two high paid head instead of one.

Pros

Depends which entity and team you're at... Dual screen monitor. Some people are friendly. Some are questionable. Sometimes there's drama to keep myself entertained. WFH - some team. Doesn't pick on what time you come and leave. Competitive environment which push you to be better. Visibility and optics are important here.

Cons

Depends which entity and team you're at... Visibility and optics are important here. Competitive environment, not so forgiving once you missed something. If your performance isn't good, you need to be good at building relationship internally or play politics.
