I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's (Penn, PA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I did a one hour presentation there. And meet with several senior economists and all junior economists there. People there are nice but it seems they focus a lot on education background, and only like people from top tier universities. If you are from Havard or U penn, it is easier for them to accept you. Otherwise, it is relatively hard.
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.
