The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings
Interview
Applied online, received an email setting up a phone interview with HR a week later. Two weeks later did two phone interviews with associate directors. After another week went in for a full day of interviews and excel/writing assessments, then a phone interview with senior management later that week. Interviews were almost 100% behavioral and situational/scenario based questions, almost no technical questions. Received offer the week after and had to wait three weeks to start. From first interview to start date took 2+ months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No particularly difficult or unexpected questions.
I applied online. 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.
