I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Moody's (New Delhi) in Jun 2016
Interview
round1- fill personal details and write an essay on a given topic. Be careful of spelling mistakes and word limit. Word limit is per paragraph. Although I dont think they read it.
round 2- aptitude test. The test is percentile based, but the sections are jumbled and you cannot select which question you want to attempt. 1 question will be displayed onscreen at a time and you cannot undo a question. The english section is VERY TOUGH. The other sections are doable but the paper is VERY LENGTHY. Although students did manage to clear it.
round 3- personal interview.
Those who gave the interview first were at a disadvantage as others got time to prepare which is inpart a good thing.
round 4- those who made it to round 4 had to give another intervierw. Probably in more detail than the first. Again the previous concepts were elaborated upon.
During round 2, we were told that PRESENTATION AND COMMUNICATION skills are very important and matter alot. We were told that theory we could be taught but not presentation skills.
A student i know of, who made it to the 4th round, was released very late - around 6-6:30 pm. We were scheduled for 10:00 AM for which we appeared. Our interviews took place through college campus.
8th june-27th june but my friend still has'nt recieved a reply although she cleared the interview round.

Had initial call with recruiter. He was very excited and said the I appeared to have a perfect background for this team. He would pass on my info to the hiring team and schedule a call with the hiring manager, I never heard from him again.
A number of other colleagues had the exact same experience for he exact same position
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
I had a phone pre screen- I was then brought in to the New York office for a panel interview. It was very casual meeting. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The interview itself was not difficult, very basic questions based from my resume.
