      Associate Analyst Interview

      12 Oct 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (London, England) in Sept 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was a COMPLETE MESS from the beginning. I applied for one role and a few days later I received a response that I had been successful chosen to move on to a phone interview for a DIFFERENT role. They were not even sure what I had applied for. The person organising the interview was extremely slow at setting up a date and in turn more than once started an email with a date and failed (forgot) to confirm. The phone interview happened and after I received no email for many weeks. Several weeks later I emailed the person organising the interviews for more information and he told me that I had passed to a final stage interview. I had to email them to find out my application was successful. For weeks the final interview is not scheduled and I assumed that they lost interest in my application. Again I email them for information and the person apologises and says that yes I am still considered. Many weeks of slow emails, non-confirmed dates and hiccups, finally a final interview is scheduled. I am sent some material and am told I need to create a PRESENTATION for the interview panel. The day I arrive to the building for the interview the receptionist asks for my name and says they have me under a DIFFERENT name. Another mistake on the recruiters part. Finally, I come to the interview having created a power point presentation and I see no projector, no computer, just a table with chairs. I later found out that the interview panel was expecting a CASE STUDY in written form of sorts. Due to this my interview, right from the start, was shaky and hard to put together. I am told I will receive a response a few days later and I receive absolutely nothing. To put the cherry on top, after 2 weeks of no response, I email the person who organised my interview for any information and I receive an automatic email response that this person NO LONGER works at Fitch. I am told to email someone else for information and this person never responded to any of my emails. The whole process was a complete mess and on top of everything they didn't even have the decency to email me any information. Truly disappointing for such a global and reputable firm.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for the difficult process and frustrating experience. Although we had been closely managing the issues with recruiting in London, there is no excuse for the poor candidate experience and lack of personalised attention you received when you interviewed with us. We have recently brought in new recruiting leadership in London and are committed to delivering an excellent experience to all of our candidates worldwide.

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Hr call -> 3 30 min panel interviews Overall, pretty easy and conversational. Nothing too technical or hard. More so, if you hit it off with interviewers, you'll get in. Super subjective.

      I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Hirevue, followed by panel interview which consists of 3 30 min interviews with people from various levels and teams. Very conversational with basic interview questions like walk through background, why fitch, etc. I would review the financial statements prior to the interview in case of any curveballs.
