- President of Rating division is from Pepsi. You draw your own conclusion.
- Absolutely horrendous bonus for 2018.
- this place attracts “certain” type of analysts: (1) fresh out of college who have no experience and want to use SP as a stepping stone to elsewhere (2) middle-aged analysts who may grow up at SP and have nowhere else to go because their skills are simply not good enough for anywhere else (and both they and next employer know it) - ie, they are stuck until they get laid off (3) those seeking to have the flexibility to get great work from home perk (many time, “not” work at all) or very long maternity and paternity leaves - ie, new and prospective parents. (4) those who are just content with status quo and unwilling to learn because they know ratings analysts can get by with minimum
Level of knowledge that barely scratched the surface - this applies to junior and senior analysts. (5) very rarely you see some very dedicated analysts who truly like old fashioned research and go above and beyond. They may get recognized yes. But then an incompetent analyst from the previous four buckets can simply put in more years than you and STiLL get promoted to your level, just because they did not fxxx things up. So how does that make you feel?
