Pros
Moody's KMV is a good financial services technology company in San Francisco. If you want to work on Wall Street, but live in the San Francisco Bay Area, Moody's KMV is a good place to work. They have nice offices in a newer part of downtown San Francisco. In general, there are very nice, very competent, very smart employees at Moody's KMV. It is not uncommong for people to have CFAs, MSes, and PHDs. They seem to pay reasonably well and it in general prepares you for a relatively higher paying career as the financial services technology industry in general pays well.
Cons
Moody's KMV was founded in San Francisco as KMV. However it was sold to Moody's roughly in 2000. However, last year a decision was made at the Moody's corporate headquarters in New York City to consolidate Moody's KMV with another part of Moody's and form Moody's Analytics. Previously MKMV was a separate wholly owned subsidiary. Therefore now MKMV isn't its own company, but part of a larger organization inside of the parent company. This means that more jobs, more responsibilities, and more decisions are based in New York City. This means that it is now run like a part of a much larger company instead of a smaller company.
