I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Moody's in Aug 2020
Interview
I applied online and one recruiter contacted me a few days later and scheduled me for a hiring manager interview. The scheduling processing took 2 weeks. One week to let you know you have an interview and choose time slots and another week to confirm interview details. The interviewers are nice, but HR just don't get back to you to let you know even after follow-ups.
