Pros

Salary above the market for associate positions. Work-life balance is better compared to similar positions at Investment Banking. The exchange of ideas and experience with people from others offices around the world is a leverage.

Cons

Management is sometimes not interested in the career development of associates. Managers do not account with enough knowledge or experience, and this undermines the trust of associates in the company’s objectives. Favoritism is observed on a daily basis. Lack of vision or plan career for matured associates. Any deviation (with a rationale behind) from the methodologies is prohibited.

Pros

It is a very good company to join as associate and be hands-on to self-learning and make the most of what a global company can offer. VPs and Senior Analysts are well-prepared with deep and insightful knowledge on their expertise field. Quite acute and intelligent people you can stumble upon. There are some strong bounds towards teamwork among numerous working groups. Good company to deep into credit and risk fields; exits towards Banks, IBs, Credit-oriented companies are attainable due to Moody's experience.

Cons

Old-fashioned and rigid corporate structure with no clear path for progression at any level. Direct managers are typically biased on their promotions and work-allocation decisions. Managers tend to lean towards non-relevant analytic issues to justify their paychecks. Deep analytical discussions are put aside in many stances to favor manager's interests as well as commercial relationships. Innovation is not well accepted in many cases. Sadly, during the last years the company tended to hire people with no real skills or knowledge to perform their jobs, resulting thus in low-quality services for Moody's clients.
