Seriously disappointing

Pros

There was significant interaction with colleagues across the globe and the privileged position Moody's enjoys enables you to develop a great understanding of the markets you cover.

Cons

I've never come across an organization which is so needlessly political. I think the company could give many investment banks a run for their money when it comes to internal politics. The nature of the credit committee process also fosters an environment of criticism and one-upmanship which doesn't help. Additionally, you're constrained by reams of senseless bureaucracy and process inefficiency which makes doing your job harder and less enjoyable that it should be.

CYA culture

Pros

9 to 5, will a full hour for lunch, are a long day for most employees. Great work life balance with "deadlines" relatively meaningless as they are routinely postponed.

Cons

Many levels of management limits career opportunities. Pay and promotions are based less on your work quality than if you are part of the "boys club", whose members repeatedly prove over many years that they always do as directed by management without any question. Expect to spend most of your time avoiding making decisions and maintaining the status quo. The brightest and most ambitious employees often leave within 6-18 months.

Pros

- culture is inclusive and makes one feel that you are part of something big - people working in the firm are smart, hardworking, innovative and driven - medical benefits are good

Cons

- hire and fire culture corresponding with the myopic way of running business by the top management and the current CEO -noticeable disparity in the firm in top management where the leaders don’t have a solid pedigree and carry a certain narcissistic and self aggrandizing one fits all way of running business. The layoff mosaic is designed by these cadre of people -can’t trust them on face value as anything expressed can be retracted (the fact of paying lip service is very true) and it’s sad to see that there is a pattern of about face in this culture (wonder if it’s encouraged under the new CEO) and it’s no more the stable and respectable company where people marked a life time of a career - most other type of benefits or employee privileges got retracted - no and absolutely no plan/resources committed to employee outings or socials
