I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Moody's (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Applied for a position in the QA department o Moody's. had two phone interviews. Both interviewers were incredibly nice and informative. They were very open to any questions or concerns I had about the Quality Assurance position. I did not know much about what the internship would entail and ws honest about my lack of experience in this field.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Moody's (Londen, Engeland)
Interview
Two managers were late for the 40 minute interview. One left after 20 minutes, saying she had a meeting to attend to (Time management issues?). I did not get the job, the reason being "insufficient knowledge of capital markets". How can they have deduced that when during the whole interview, the only technical question asked was to define a rating? Nothing else close to capital markets. [In case anyone is doubtful, the interviewer who remained did say that my definition was correct.]
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most useless closed-end questions: Do you think you can do/help us to do...? Of course, anyone sensible would reply positively.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's in Sep 2011
Interview
Excellent and thorough interview process. I had the opportunity to meet many of the people that I am now working with. The bonds established during the interview are carrying forward into on-boarding and the work. Thorough technical skills examination.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Thorough questions about previous experience. I was asked to give detailed examples of previous work and how I've solved problems in the past.
