I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CRISIL (Mumbai) in May 2021
Interview
I was contacted by the HR over LinkedIn.
After giving them a 'go ahead' with my candidature, a first round of technical interview was arranged with team members.
This followed by a short technical proficiency test - the questions were similar to those asked in the technical round.
Upon satisfaction of test performance, I was intimated of second round (with director) - the intent is to assess candidate's temperament, aptitude.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round #1: technical: regarding python programming, pandas library, groupby(), anonymous functions etc.
Round #2: personal interpretation type questions: e.g., "you have orientation towards data science, why do you want to apply for quant developer role?"
Some stupid riddles: how can one make 8 pieces out of a cake in three cuts?
