Pros

The only reason to work here is if are starting your career and you have no money. Do not worry about your low knowledge. You will fit rite in.

Cons

They don't know what they are doing. Senior analysts showed a serious lack of financial knowledge. Whoever gave them that 5 star review was lying.

Abundant potential but firm lacks direction

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.

Slight upside, major downside

Pros

- Decent work life balance* - Recognizable CRA name, if that's your ideal career path. Easy to get in on the ground floor of a somewhat decent name - Good benefits** (See addendum below)

Cons

Where to begin... - *Good work-life balance, UNLESS your day is filled with absolutely pointless and drawn out meetings. I've never been in a company filled with so much bureaucracy. - ** While the benefits are decent, the pay is absolute bottom of the barrel. They will act offended if you try and negotiate. - Cancerous office culture. Lots of wasted time. Younger office with far too much gossip and far too little productivity. - If you're interested in finance and/or real estate, don't expect to see much of either. Site inspections are interesting, but you need to slog through template set-ups and downloading to get to that stage.
