I applied through university. I interviewed at Moody's (New York, NY)
Interview
It was very choppy. The first interview was a mix of technical and behavioral. The second was split into two, the first being behavioral, and the second technical. A lot of accounting questions.

Question 1
Typical behavioral, some questions on credit ratings.
Case study with financial analysis and credit write-up to be completed in 3 hours, followed by a face-to-face interview with the head to assess personality, fit, and background. It was a pleasant interview, nothing too crazy.
