I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2024
Interview
I interviewed in 3 steps. the first one was with Recruiter which was smooth and about my interest in Fitch ratings and why I want to leave my current job. Then the second step was with an Analyst and the third one was with an Senior Analyst and a Senior Director. All interviews went really well as it was very much aligned with my background and experience. However, despite my 3 time follow ups with recruiter and Senior Director, I heard nothing, even my application in the profile is still showing Assessments after 2 month of my latest interview. They had to at least have the decency and respect my time and send me an email of rejection. Overall, I think the culture of this company is very much like how they treat you in interview process. very disrespectful.
