Moody's Reviews

Pros

Moody's highly supports employees to advance their careers. Moody's is very collaborative, team oriented culture.

Cons

Expect to work long hours.

Advice to Senior Management

I think many groups are under staff.

Pros

Structure is very flat, was able to talk to a lot of people from associate analysts up to senior management
Received encouraging messages from management
Horizontal movement is easy
You learn as much as you want, or as little as you want - internship experience is defined by individual candidates, not groups or managers

Cons

Very disorganized HR and programming for interns, may be a function of recruiters being new to their roles
Some people love their jobs there, and others don't --hinders overall productivity in some groups
Receiving feedback depended on group and manager's schedules
Groups are highly separated
Little vertical movement seen for the future, more outside hires come in at higher levels and promotions are hard to get and occur once a year

Advice to Senior Management

Recruit your interns earlier to get a better, more competent class. Also, it's great that interns are able to talk to senior management and leadership, but middle and entry level employees should get that access too.

Pros

Lot's of free time, almost everyone leaves at 5pm, you can take as long as you want rating companies, a really chill place to work if you don't want to be particularly challenged.

Cons

Among entry level positions, not very well paid. Otherwise, great work-life balance, really respectful and nice people, though somewhat dull work (Data-enty)

Advice to Senior Management

I'd rather not tell people how to run their business. Moody's is doing very well, and I'm happy for them.

Pros

Great learning opportunity from very knowledgable people

Cons

Pay is lower than most companies

Pros

There are Good Opportunity at Moody's.

Cons

The pay is not so great at all

Advice to Senior Management

Gi. People ighe lower levels mere respect and more opportunities.

Pros

Moodys is very involved in the community and has a good work life balance. Although resistant to change, at least you know they ways are consistant.

Cons

People do not adhere to policies and procedures. They will recognize, reward and promote only those who the managers like while others that have dedication and high PE ratings year after year will get any recognision or reward.

Advice to Senior Management

Address an issue, make a decision and stick to that decision instead of address the same issue on a case by case basis and the outcome shouldnt depend on who you know or who you like better.

Pros

- Good work life balance
- Most people work only until 5
- Vacation days are easily approved
- Good benefits

Cons

- Horrible pay
- Lacking transparancy as to how promotions are obtained
- Hard to get in contact with managers

Pros

Moody's has excellent work environment with a very reasonable work life balance. There is more co-operation than competitive environment. The company is growing with sufficient scope for moving up. Most of the positions and promotions are filled based on meritocracy, and not based on favoritism.

Cons

Technology and processes are not the most advanced, and there are many areas that are less efficient compared to many other organizations.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on selecting the right people has been very helpful - continue with this, and make sure that there is good and productive environment with sufficient freedom to make critical decisions.

Pros

great way to learn about credit

Cons

limited career advancement; times have changed--too much regulatory requirements

Pros

Good Work/ Life Balance
Alot of responsability early in one's career
Job Security
Higher Base Pay
Nice offices
non-cut-throat environment

Cons

Lower Salaries
Slow promotion schedule
non-merit based bonuses
There was very little education compensation
Alot of people coast while working
plateau in experience level

Advice to Senior Management

Invest more in your employees. we were not incentivized to work harder than our peers due to bulk promotions and non-merit based bonuses.
