Technical Case Behavioral
The interview process at Morningstar DBRS is pretty laid-back and conversational, focusing on situational questions. You start by applying online. Then, HR might give you a call to chat about your background and why you're interested. After that, they might hit you with a technical assessment or a case study, possibly asking about things like financial analysis or credit risk. Next up are interviews with the team or your potential manager, where they'll check out your technical skills and how you solve problems. Sometimes, there's a final chat with higher-ups to see if you vibe with the company culture. They really like it when you're passionate, curious, and just yourself.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone interview with HR in Toronto and then an on-site interview with the Global Structured Finance team. Associates interviewed me first, then the head of the team. The interviews weren't too difficult and the interviewers were very friendly. I also interviewed with the analysts where they tested my Excel and VBA knowledge.
