Pros

Many talented, experienced and dynamic employees spread across the firm.

Cons

Despite several changes in leadership in recent years, the company is often overly reactionary to the current business environment and has difficulty committing to mid- and long-term business plans. DBRS desires to be a growth company but management consistently prioritizes a short-term focus which inhibits meaningful progress and negatively impacts employee morale.
