Pros

- Knew their strengths and played to them - European working style - easy hours and good vacation

Cons

- Their two strengths, structured finance and bank ratings, helped cause the 2008 financial crisis and their revenue base was probably hard hit by it. - Not as serious about the non rating products and services yet had a global team around it - Low pay compared to the other Ratings agencies - Limited career opportunities for advancement and development
