I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
There are a few interviews, telephone screening by HR, then a telephone interview with manager, then an interview with the manager and one more person and finally the head of department.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is an ISIN? What was your dissertation about? Team work example.
Fairly straightforward and easy. Asked about work history and why I wanted to work there, as well as what I knew. HR screening > Interview with manager and a current employee > Interview with Director > Speak with HR about offer.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Moody's (London, England)
Interview
Two managers were late for the 40 minute interview. One left after 20 minutes, saying she had a meeting to attend to (Time management issues?). I did not get the job, the reason being "insufficient knowledge of capital markets". How can they have deduced that when during the whole interview, the only technical question asked was to define a rating? Nothing else close to capital markets. [In case anyone is doubtful, the interviewer who remained did say that my definition was correct.]

Question 1
Most useless closed-end questions: Do you think you can do/help us to do...? Of course, anyone sensible would reply positively.
