Analyst at Grail Research
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Delhi (India) Apr 2012 – Reviewed Jun 10, 2012
Interview Details – I was contacted on the phone and asked a bit about what I know regarding the company and the kind of work they do and also wanted to know why I was interested. Then, an interview date was scheduled and I had to give a written test at their office which comprised of various questions on logical ability, quantitative aptitude, data interpretation and verbal ability. There was also an essay to be written. On clearing this, I was called for the interview process. I underwent 3 rounds of interviews in which I was mainly asked guess estimation based case studies. The interview process was very stringent and each round was a screening process for the next round. Not a piece of cake. They want only the best.
