S&P Global Interview Questions, Process, and Tips for Experienced

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had 5 levels of interview and questions varied. But they asked a lot of scenario based questions along with the general 'get to know you ' queries... For example what would you do in a situation where you are depended on others for the work to be completed? How will you manage if your manager is away? How important is team culture for you? What would you do if this situation crops up...Etc.

I think the key is to check out the hierarchy of the people in the org that you know you are going to meet and try and answer according to what sort of an answer they might expect from you. Think from their POV. The endless line of interviews was exhausting but worth the wait.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Be strong mentally & be confident to whatever you are about to answer.

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The company kept a minimum grade of 8.0 to qualify for written.

Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude Round was pretty easy and so was reasoning. For coding rounds they majorly focused on C/C++ basics. Their major intention was test the logical strength of a student. Technical round involved a touch of all core subjects like data-structures, algorithms, OS and Networks. They also focused on RDBMS and queries. Only 10 students were shortlisted in this round from almost around 200.
Duration: 2 hours
Total Questions: 022

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My interview went on for an hour and the interviewer asked all very logical questions on advanced data structures and algorithms. He asked about best ways to solve few business cases and the best algorithms I would suggest for the cases provided. Also he talked about query execution and optimization plans for sql.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Yes in-fact it is surprising that after an hour of interview they wanted to have a second round of technical interview. The questions were more about C/C++/C# coding as I have mentioned these on my resume. Please note they take your resume very seriously. he even asked me about projects I did in final semester and why I did them.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round was more to focus on how I handle work life balance and what interests I have. He did give me a situation mentioning that say suppose my parents are visiting me and I have leaves planned well in advance but then the client seems to be having an issue and it cannot proceed without me. SO be prepared for all such cases as well.
