I had a phone screening interview with an HR rep in December; there were some finance related questions, but mostly related to my resume. In January, I was contacted to set up another interview and to send in a writing sample. I had a WebEx interview with three directors of the group I was applying for.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Give us your elevator pitch (what are three things someone should know about you).
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.
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.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (Toronto, ON) in July 2023
Interview
Online application --> screening questions --> HR screening --> First: behavioural (2 analysts) --> Second: case study (analyst + senior analyst) --> Third: senior manager case study follow-up; overall positive experience, but long wait time between final interview and response.
