I generally never write a review but what I experienced here has instigated me to speak my mind and probably give a fair idea of what goes behind the lustrous semblance of this company. So hang in there....... In the 1st week of Oct'13: I had applied for a TQA opening on their career site. To my surprise(considered myself lucky) I was called for an interview within a week but not for 'TQA' but 'Research Associate'. Still I prepared all the finance I could.(trust me it's not easy when you are an engineer) 1st round : Aptitude + Essay (moderate, 80% candidates are eliminated ) 2nd round: Just having entered the room..I was asked why did I apply for 'RA' instead of 'TQA' as I'm a B.Tech grad without even judging if I could also fit in as a RA? She asked me 2 very basic questions on finance which anyone who reads 'The Economic Times' can answer. I explained them, I had applied for the latter but received a call for the former. Here, the HR girl had no clue of anything whatsoever. I was forced to change my profile again and appear for a TQA written round after 1 week. I agreed. 3rd round : 10 subjective questions on s/w testing in 1 hour. (That's sounds fair.) After completing the 3rd round, neither they bothered to give any date to expect the results nor inform about the further process. Now, the frustration kicks in.... I call up the front desk after 3 days but she does not forward the call to any of the HR guys, I dropped 2 mails to the interviewer then again 'NO REPLY'. Later, through some internal source I get to know the position has already been filled with no intimation given to the candidates awaiting their results. You think it's over ?? Naah!! 11th NOV '13: I receive a mail from the HR dept of S&P CIQ to reappear for another TQA opening. Again, back to square one but I assumed my previous process was in pipeline. However, to the wildest of my imagination after the 1st round, to test my relentless patience in this occasion they disqualify me as according to their HR policy those who appeared previously can't apply again. NOTE: 1) THE CAREER SITE 'ALWAYS' SHOWS JOB OPENINGS ALL AROUND THE YEAR EVEN WHEN THE ACTUAL CASE MAYBE DIFFERENT. 2) THE HR DEPT IS THE EPITOME OF DECEPTION. NO TELEPHONE NO. IS PROVIDED AS THEY CAN ABANDON YOU ANYWHERE IN THE PROCESS WITHOUT A JUSTIFICATION. 3) E-MAILS WOULD NEVER BE ANSWERED. 4) NO EXPLICIT SELECTION IS DONE MANUALLY, A COMPUTER GENERATED E-MAIL IS SENT TO EVERYONE WHO APPLIES. 5) RUDE MANAGERS PS: Don't waste your time waiting to hear from them in 6 days. DISGRACE.

I got a chance to attend the technical interview at Capital IQ after clearing the written test.There I got to know that capital iq not only gives it's clients an unfair advantage but also to the relatives of its employees so that they can land a job with capital iq without doing much hardwork. Candidates who were shortlisted for the interview after the written test were either the relatives of the employees who are working for capital iq or they knew some employees of Capital Iq .I would request the management and the HR dept. to look into this issue.It was a 1:1 interview and the interviewer kept asking the same questions again and again and after that he asked me to leave.There should be at least 2 interviewers so that deserving candidates don't get rejected because of the biased behaviour of an interviewer.Please try to conduct an unbiased recruitment process.
