I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (Hong Kong) in Apr 2014
Interview
Was invited by HR to their Super Day along with 5 other candidates
Interview was organised as an intensive round-the-robin 1 on 1 between each analyst and candidate
Interview questions from analysts were varied;
Some were relatively laid back and just asked basic finance/hypothetical questions - others were extremely hard core and asked very technical accounting questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the key qualitative and quantitative factors that you would use to analyse a company's financial performance?
One behavioral, one technical. Nothing too bad or difficult. Mostly accounting or straight forward finance questions, but helps to be well spoken. Behavioral is like every other interview, no curveball questions for me.
Easy to pass if you know credits, feeling like the standards and requirements are not high. So good luck guys, they used to intake ppl with good background, but now…..
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Moody's in Aug 2022
Interview
HR process was smooth when setting up for the interview with hiring manager. However, interview with hiring manager was not as pleasant and reflected badly on the company. When unable to answer the technical questions posed, hiring manager passed comments that came off snobbish.
