I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at S&P Global (Tokio) in Oct 2023
Interview
The interview consisted of Basic Behavioral Questions like Why do you want to join, how do you deal with a tough situation etc. There was also a knowledge check test, which tested very basic Finance and if my memory is correct, a Excel Test.
At the time, they miraculously had a hiring freeze and had me on pause before my final interview. After waiting 2 - 3 Weeks, they decided to give me another test ??? which was not mentioned beforehand, and seemed like just a placeholder while they waited on the Global Hiring Freeze they apparently had. This was the moment I decided to move to another company as they could not give me a concrete timeline on when the process will end and when I could be hired. Overall, bad experience with minimal transparency regarding timeline.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you deal with a tough situation with a colleague
The interview process typically begins with an initial screening round, which may be conducted over a phone call or video interview to assess communication skills, basic qualifications, and overall suitability for the role. This is followed by a technical or functional round, where candidates are evaluated on their analytical abilities, Excel proficiency, understanding of business operations, and problem-solving skills.
Shortlisted candidates may then attend a managerial or HR round, focusing on behavioral questions, cultural fit, ownership, adaptability, and career goals. In some cases, a task or case study may also be assigned to assess practical skills. The final decision is communicated after overall evaluation of performance across all rounds.

Question 1
If you could do any job in the world without any restraints what would it be and why?
Not too bad - pretty standard interview. Know about company and a bit about current affairs/financial news. Also, talk about your soft skills and the values you uphold how they match the company’s value, etc.
