Applied online. HR reached out to schedule an interview with the hiring manager, but the manager seemed uninterested in my candidacy. Wasn’t surprised that I wasn’t selected to move forward in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself. How do you think you fit this role
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Moody's in Nov 2022
Interview
The usual — recruiter screen, coding test, interview super day. Coding test on LeetCode, 4-hour time limit, nothing out of the ordinary. Interview Super Day with three 1-hour interviews on Zoom. Each interview had 1-2 people from a variety of levels on the team: Managing Director, Hiring Manager, and peers. One hour was too long for both sides: employees and the candidates. Recruiter very open and communicative leading up the Interview Super Day. After Interview Super Day, received no direct follow up from the recruitrer. Found out I was not advancing to an offer via online status in the Moody’s Career Portal which sent no notification about the status change.
