Pros

The businesses that aren’t yet touched by Mike Chinn...but wait for it.

Cons

S&P Global was on the right path when Doug Peterson was named CEO....then came th acquisition of SNL, and with it we got Mike Chinn (The Keg Party Guy who thinks he’s Steve Jobs...he’s not even close). Fast forward to now and there is a MASS EXODUS taking place. People are jumping ship because they see the direction Mike is steering what we worked so had for and are not sticking around for Armageddon. Good luck, and shareholders::: BEWARE.

Good place for certain types of analysts

Pros

- most people are pleasant to work with

Cons

- 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?

Pros

S&P for many, many years was a great employer with a multitude of reasons to work there. The work was engaging. The benefits were generous. And there was real quality of life at the company. Once the leadership from SNL was put in charge, all of that came crashing down.

Cons

Diminishing benefits, Verbal Abuse, Age discrimination, Out-sourcing all jobs. SNL has turned this company into the lowest level of a work environment. Employee perks disappeared quickly. It's a bring your own office supplies environment, which I find unconscionable. I was in a hiring manager presentation that told us to ask whatever we want to identify the highest performers, but make sure to shred anything written so the Mike Chinn doesn't get sued. I also witnessed and tried to stop male employees getting grossly larger raises and bonuses than more talented female colleagues. It's a bro atmosphere on every level. In fact, if you check the states, there are very few women in real positions of influence at the company. This was acknowledged and bandied about in multiple meetings. S&P is now SNL in disguise and has adopted their well-known persona of acting like a sweat shop. You can't imagine what a fall it's been from being a quality employer to one that forces out long-term employees to hire younger cheaper ones. Their claim of pay-for-performance is code for mandated bad reviews, unwarranted performance improvement plans, and an all-around demeaning of the people that work there. It's both sad and.... criminal.
