I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (New York, NY) in Mar 2024
Interview
First round was a phone screen with a VP, approx 20 min, mainly asked about my past experiences. Then 3 days later I was invited to the superday. The superday contains 2 rounds, 30 min each. The first round was with an AVP and the second round was with an AVP and a MD. The interview questions were mainly behavioral questions and few technical questions asking about fixed income and securities. The interviewers were super nice. Received offer call 5 days after the superday.
Case study followed by first round of interviews with the hiring manager and a senior ratings associate. Followed by a second round with the associate managing director and a lead analyst
HR screening first (20 min total, rather brief, standard HR screen) then some interviews with people from the ratings team. Both were online. The second interview was two thirty minute rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical behavioral, some questions on credit ratings.
Case study with financial analysis and credit write-up to be completed in 3 hours, followed by a face-to-face interview with the head to assess personality, fit, and background. It was a pleasant interview, nothing too crazy.
