Better avoid - Anonymous employee Moody's Employee Review

- 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
