Pros

Close to subways & path station If your house is about to foreclose, Moodys is better than begging on the street.

Cons

Plenty of people had warned me about Moodys, but I didn't realize it would be that bad. The company was well known as a bottom feeder for technology for decades before things came to a head with their debacle helping cause the 2008 financial crisis. They have since tried to bring their IT up to basic standards but have been using the same incompetent middle managers that got them in the mess in the first place, with predictable disastrous results. They churn through consultants and flog those that are visa slaves to death. I've witnessed a consultant having their ID removed and on investigating finding out they were being let go on the same day. Professional courtesy doesn't not extend to how consultants are treated. Terrible unprofessional management Treat consultants like garbage Don't understand modern day IT standards or technology

Pros

Decent salary and bonus. Generous time off, but good luck trying to use it.

Cons

Layoffs are a constant theme, occurring every Q2 and Q4 on average, regardless of how well the company is performing. Executives are tone-deaf and are as two-faced as you can believe, particularly the CAO. Leadership when asked why just shrugs it s shoulders and responds with “these things just happen.” Any chances of long term employment or career growth are non-existent so don’t even think about it. Any mention of it will most likely get you put to the top of the layoff list.

Pros

Good Salary, decent benefits, good name to put on your Resume. Severance package is great in comparison to other companies, 1 Year Paid Sabbatical in essence.

Cons

Leadership is not honest in any way. You can do a great job, but if you are not part of the Old Boys network when it comes time to get rid of you, then they will. This management team cannot get out of its own way. They lay out aggressive goals and quarter after quarter they keep talking about what they will do next without ever delivering upon the promise. If you take a role with them, know the warning signs and get out as soon as you can, or wait for the Severance package and travel for a couple months to get your dignity back. The Moody's stench will wash off.
