Pros

This is a bittersweet review because I truly loved the company. Here are a few reasons: Smart people, international, great learning programs and an interesting company to work for with some brilliant lines of business and a lot of great people. BUT ...

Cons

HR is a nightmare! The turnover is unbelievable due to toxic leadership and some truly frightening characters. The entire department is a risk for the company and no one cares to fix it, ironic given Moody's business model. So many great people leave because of abusive managers, who are then rewarded with VP, SVP titles and complimentary coaching. Very unfortunate.

HR - THE MOST EPIC FAIL

Pros

If you like being insulted for your extra efforts, Management delivers trinkets at your desk telling you to “hold in there” and hosts “cupcake socials” so the "haves" can meet the "have nots" that do all the work for garbage pay, in comparison to similarly situated colleagues in other companies.

Cons

I would like to reiterate then post by another HR employee on July 31, 2015. Beware!!! The HR organization is a dysfunctional nightmare! “Leadership” is a laughing stock and the organization is toxic and disorganized. Getting ahead is impossible - no matter how hard you work. There are quite obviously “golden children” who have been assigned to high ranking positions in the recent HR restructure (merit??). Many of these individuals have been imported, at presumably great expense, to take the place of hard working Americans with experience, years of recognition and merit. At the same time, the costs associated with these employees appears to have drained the budget - in so much as there is nothing left to incentivize most workers or improve/ upgrade their conditions. You can make WAY more elsewhere with a more respectable and skilled Management team and incentive program.

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.
