I applied online. I interviewed at Morningstar DBRS
Interview
There were two rounds - a telephonic round followed by a face-to-face interview. The interview was fairly good and the questions asked were generic. Overall, an interesting experience!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Morningstar DBRS (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2010
Interview
Interview was short and relaxed. They just wanted to know if I had done any research on the company and seemed pleased that I had. Turns out a lot of people when asked :What do you know about the company? respond with "Not much." That pretty much kills your chances dead.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much do you know about (insert name of obscuring financing vehicle here)? I lied a little and said I had written about it before, which was not strictly true (I had written about something very similar), but sometimes white lies are a necessity to get you to that next step. They also had me meet with the obscure financing team, who seemed too find the process amusing.
