Pros

- Good exposure to senior officers of other companies. - If you are white, a lot of opportunity to develop contacts with analysts around the world. - If you are white, the opportunity to be promoted, lead a team, and gain credit risk experience at the senior/global level.

Cons

- Moody's is a very difficult place to be if you are a minority. - They are no black people who are above SVP in all of Moody's US. - The idea of having access to the Moody's international network is an illusion for minorities. - There is an unwavering loyalty to preserving the careers of old white men who seem to be doing absolutely nothing. - Only women and minorities get downsized at Moody's.

Pros

- Good company wide culture (see notes below on ratings specific culture) good people - Great work life balance (especially for finance in NYC) - Opportunity to learn from most of the c-suite - If you want the return offer you can usually get it (only know one person from my year who wanted one and didn't get one). - The ratings intern program is essentially gauging if your competent to extend a return offer. You don't actually do much work for your team.

Cons

- Can't touch anything an actual associate does because of regulations in industry (don't get exposure with what you'll actually be doing full time). - Because you can't touch anything you basically spend the entire summer being talked at by senior analysts (learned a ton but can get repetitive). - Hybrid schedule is only really adhered to by associates on your team, so the office feels deserted at times. The seniors don't come into the office much. The ratings floors (separate from the rest of the business) have a stale and silent feeling. - Because you don't really do much for your team it's hard to create relationships with them. - Your capstone project can be on a completely different industry then the one you're assigned to.
