I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (London, England) in Mar 2014
Interview
I had two interviews and a case study. The interviews were pretty structured and then we spoke about how I handled the case. The first was with HR who asked screening questions and asked about why I was interested in the company and sector. The second was with two senior people from the team who asked some technical questions. Then they talked about what the culture and opportunities were if I did choose to join.

Question 1
What are the risk factors you would consider in assessing this company?
Applied for the job in January, got invited to phone screen in June. The first interview they no showed, but they quickly reached out to reschedule. Interview itself was good, questions about my experience, how I would handle the role and my salesforce background. Was told I would have a follow up and never heard back from anyone or any automated message.
