Applied online. HR reached out to schedule an interview with the hiring manager, but the manager seemed uninterested in my candidacy. Wasn’t surprised that I wasn’t selected to move forward in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself. How do you think you fit this role
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (Duluth, MN) in Mar 2023
Interview
I applied to Moody's online in February of 2023, about two weeks later I was contacted by a recruiter to set up an initial call. The call lasted about 20mins, and mostly consisted of them describing the role to me in more detail. A few days later I got a link to take an assessment. They give you 3 hours to answer a series of questions regarding statistics and some coding. The last part asks you to download, clean and parse a dataset in either Python or R and then answer a series of questions. That part was hard, but the rest of the assessment wasn’t too bad. Then about a week and a half later I was contacted about a follow up interview with the hiring manager and the supervisor of the team. It was one of the worst interviews I have ever had, the process for setting it up was disorganized and untimely. The interviewers seemed bored, and they were dismissive of my answers.

The interview is in 3 stages. Stage 1 - phone interview; stage 2 - with the director of economic research; stage 3 - more on technical issues which relates to the role and your competence for the role.
