I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at S&P Global (New York, NY) in Aug 2010
Interview
A single face-to-face interview to ask questions about databases and Java-related technologies and problem solving for various Java and J2EE questions. Also, certain career related questions were asked like - what kind of certifications are you interested in and which are the latest technologies (like Java, JQuery) have you been learning outside of your work to advance your career.
