I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Moody's (Vilnius) in Aug 2021
Interview
First interview with HR, very quick (15 mins)
Second interview with 2 current financial analysts and 1 HR. The interview was horrible because the attitude from them was more like they were giving me a lesson rather than sorting out how much I knew or if I was prepared or not for the role. In the skills required they described basic knowledge of financial statements and anyone coming from any financial background. The questions were weird and not entry level, not even friends of mine who work as accountants knew what to answer. Received an email a couple days later saying I was called out.
