I applied online. I interviewed at S&P Global (London, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
Average, I didn't actually know what to expect but I think the interviewer created a tense environment and was a bit edgy. I've heard about such interview strategy but I didn't expect it. I wasn't expecting an in-depth interview on the phone. And I felt the interviewer was questioning me and not interviewing me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given your professional qualification, this role won't suitable be for you. I do not see it as the next thing for you. Can you explain how this role fits into your future aspirations?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at S&P Global (London, England) in Jun 2014
Interview
I had an initial interview with the Operations Manager and an Editor. We talked about my experience and motivations, what I knew about the company and what I would be expected to do. That went pretty well and I was invited back 2 days later to meet a couple of members of the team, to do some tests on Excel, VBA, programming and for more questions. That seemed to go pretty well as well.
Initially I was told that they wanted to make decision very very quickly but at the interview I was told they weren't going to hurry and make the wrong decision. The decision maker went away for a fortnight then decided to look for more candidates before making a decision, according to the recruiter. I'm still waiting to hear either way.
