I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at S&P Global (Charlottesville, VA) in Mar 2019
Interview
It was a video interview. There were two interviewers. One of them is the direct supervisor of the internship project, not sure about the role of the other person. The direct supervisor was fine and nice. He gave a detailed explanation of the intern's responsibilities and the example works they have done. The other person was responsible for asking me questions,, in the way that I feel that he didn't care about the answers I gave at all. He didn't make any eye contacts and I am very sure that he was looking at other things while giving me the interview.
30 Minute Recruiter Call followed by a 30 minute interview with some short technical questions about python, time series and common development tools (no coding). There was one more interview but did not advance.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at S&P Global (Hyderābād) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interviewer was pretty chill, he asked me everything that I mentioned in my resume. He majorly focused on SQL and my knowledge on DBMS concepts , OOPs concepts and Data Viz tools(since I have mentioned them in resume). The interview went decent enough but I didnot get selected and nobody from my panel got selected even when the interview went well.
