I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (Toronto, ON)
Interview
The process was very long - mostly positive. Started with a basic screening interview with a manager, then a Super day about 3 weeks later which consisted of two interviews with senior associates. Culminated in a final round with a senior-level employee. All were very pleasant except for the last interview. Very few technical questions and the focus was mostly on fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are two actions that might benefit shareholders but harm creditors
There are four rounds of interviews: recruiter interview, HR manager interview, case study, and Interview with rating associates. The interview questions themselves were average. I recommend you review basic accounting terminology such as B/S, I/S, C/F, their components, and the connection between the three financial statements.
