I did very important financial work, it was directly connected to the mass meltdown of the US economy. As a result. Most investment companies were reduced to less than fifty percent and our department was outsourced to Puni, India.

A typical day was producing and designing in house ads and brochures. I learned, that hard work will get you noticed. Management was OK. Co-workers were fantastic. The hardest part of the job, was not being fully utilized. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing my work produced.

S&P is a great company to work for especially working mothers! I would recommend employment here as the managers, executives, and administrative staff are amazing.

S&P has afforded me the opportunity to learn a great deal about finance and accounting, but opportunities for advancement have been rare, and based as much on personal connection as professional merit. Reinvestment of profits, which continue to soar, continue to shift from employee to executives and shareholders.

A typical day at work is to meet with and lead cross-functional teams in order to meet the strategic objectives of the firm for regulatory compliance purposes. After meeting with different teams, develop end-to-end processes and when necessary develop training sessions globally regarding the new regulations or changes.

- A typical day for a ratings analyst is to perform complex financial, business, and economic analysis to determine the credit worthiness of the securities to be issued by corporations.

- Working with large global investors, corporations, financial institutions, and law firms provided me with in-depth knowledge of the financial and capital markets. – more... My knowledge of the global financial markets is rich as a result of this experience.

- My co-workers were what I consider some of the brightest minds in the financial marketplace. We all were highly analytical with excellent quantitative skiils and high levels of integrity.

- The most difficult part of the job was having to stand firm on credit criteria with investment bankers, lawyers, and issuers who all believed the Standard & Poor's approach was too strict and conservative

- The most enjoyable part of the job was learning. For the intellectually curious, Standard & Poor’s was a great place for a career in business and finance. I had the pleasure of working with very bright colleagues and participants in the credit, financial and capital markets. – less

The team atmosphere here is top-notch and lends itself well to completing projects on time.

S&P is a great start to anyone's culture..it helps you to manage stress and get strong in ups and downs.

Every day I learn something new which enables me to apply and share the knowledge with my team. Business rules, system changes and work flow are some of the items that constantly changes.

Depending upon the group you work in, management can be extremely dysfunctional. Hours and pay tend to be reasonable. Definitely not a place to go if you are looking to build a career. The company is HIGHLY regulated both by external and internal forces. Expect to spend a significant amount of time doing paperwork for all roles including Associate, – more... Associate Director, Director, and Senior Director levels. In short, don't expect to stay too long. It's fine for a temporary holdover while you're waiting for something better to come along. – less

I am glad I found S&P in Colorado and I am glad I came to New York with S&P. However I want to be back in Denver.
