I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Moody's (London, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
I applied through the website for the EMEA AA3 graduate scheme. The process is standard for financial institutions. First step is to submit your CV, then to complete online tests (math, verbal, accounting, excel), then phone interview, and finally the AC.
Work on you accounting (financial ratios, balance sheet, cash flow etc.) and macroeconomics (interest rates, monetary policy, balance of payment etc.). Read thoroughly the methodologies online. Moody's AC is more competitive than usual, with a 5 to 1 ratio of offer holders.
HR could improve by reducing lag time between AC and offer (almost accepted another offer as I had to wait over one month to hear back, with no communication in between).

Interview
Two interviews for Superday, one behavioral, one technical. For the first interview the lady was very monotone and didn't seem to pay attention to my responses, the technical interview had two interviewers who asked basic finance and accounting questions.

Question 1
Walk me through CapEx on the financial statements. What are the financial statements and tell me how they are related to each other. If you could ask the CEO of a startup one question about their plans for investors, what would it be? How familiar are you with CFG? Tell me about a company that you researched and what issues they may be facing in their industry.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Moody's (New York, NY) in Nov 2022
Interview
One short phone screen with VP, 20 minutes aprox. then super day. 2 interviews of 30 minutes. Stressful? Yes. Why? Because you are meeting with 4 people in one hour.
