I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2016
Interview
The whole interview process took about 3 hours. The first hour was a timed writing exercise. You were given a description of a fictitious company and had to write a one-page opinion about the company using key facts. Next was a series of one-on-one interviews, about 30 minutes each. Slightly different angle to each interview but no unreasonable questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (New York, NY)
Interview
Hr call -> 3 30 min panel interviews
Overall, pretty easy and conversational. Nothing too technical or hard. More so, if you hit it off with interviewers, you'll get in. Super subjective.
Hirevue, followed by panel interview which consists of 3 30 min interviews with people from various levels and teams. Very conversational with basic interview questions like walk through background, why fitch, etc. I would review the financial statements prior to the interview in case of any curveballs.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fitch Ratings (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2023
Interview
Online application --> screening questions --> HR screening --> First: behavioural (2 analysts) --> Second: case study (analyst + senior analyst) --> Third: senior manager case study follow-up; overall positive experience, but long wait time between final interview and response.
