Moody's reviews

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.

- There is a heavy expectation to be reachable 24/7. This meant working both London and New York hours (a 12-hour+ window) and being expected to answer Slack and emails whilst on holiday. - My manager showed zero interest in their team as people. There was no friendly chitchat or interest in life outside of work; we were treated as temporary commodities rather than long-term assets. - Management has no authority over their own hiring decisions. I witnessed a manager being chastised by a diversity lead for hiring "middle-aged white males", making it clear that demographic quotas are prioritised over merit. - Redundancy is always around the corner and handled without any empathy. My boss read from an index card saying I was no longer needed, and HR told me I wasn't allowed to tell any colleagues I was being made redundant. - During the exit meeting, they locked me out of my laptop immediately so I couldn't even say goodbye to my team. I only found out colleagues were looking for me later via LinkedIn. - Toxic, cutthroat product management culture fostered by senior directors and above.
