Moody's reviews

- Bureaucratic - Toxic and blaming culture - Lip service is paid to mentoring between senior and junior colleagues but never practiced - Unsociable environment. Social interaction outside the office doesn't exist - Extremely slow career progression (if any) in the absence of a sponsor - Salary progression is very close to zero, even after a promotion - Employee management inexistent, so best employees with good opportunities elsehwere will just walk away as soon as they can - Exit opportunities are very limited. Having "Moody's" written on one's CV is not always looked at favourably by recruiters at other financial institutions - Link between newly-hired employees and their job title is absolutely random. I've seen people with very different work experience (say, 2yrs vs. 7yrs) being hired with the same job title and seniority - The poor management skills of low and middle-level managers are a scandal in broad daylight - Ridiculously high number of completely useless petty projects created by low/middle managers with the only goal to gain visibility to the eyes of senior managers - High turnover (not a surprise given the above points) - Endless number of endless weekly meetings serving very little purpose - Inclusive culture is very good but is translating into ignoring the professional preparation of newly-hired employees

-Hard to get promoted after Assistant Director particularly if you’re a woman, in NYC office, favoritism, and if your department is not on top of sales -HR lacks on how to survey why it is women are not getting promoted or why women aren’t getting paid as fairly as a man -Frustrating to work with offices that do the bare minimum such as San Francisco and London but somehow expected to get everything done -Lack of realistic goals set by executives and managers which then is blamed on everyone below (great way to avoid promotions)
