I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CRISIL (Airoli) in Nov 2013
Interview
3 online exams about 2 hours each (yes... 6 hours just for the online test) 2 of these exams were a complete rip off of CFA exams. the last was TOEFL. After a gruelling 6 hours exams (this is without even consider a breather in between the exams), if you are still breathing you will be subject to 2 rounds of PI ( one by the TLs and One by the Managers). So by the time you reach the HR negotiation round you are so exhausted that you wont even look at the CTC of Rs.2,20,000
Selection criteria is simple... if the TL thinks the employee is cute then he will be hired and will be a plaything for the next 6 months after which he will be removed on performance grounds. ( it happened to 2 people in CIBA Team between 2013 - 2014)
The process was fair and result was time bound, therefor I can say it was a fair experience. However It will be great if they give more time to schedule different rounds
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My experience with legal documentation and financial analyis
2 rounds of interview. Questions on past work experience and finance. Questions on post graduation and economy. Repo rate, ratios etc. Why crisil? Why do you want to switch?. Any questions for the panel
2 rounds were conducted and industry knowledge is must for this profile. The interview focused mainly on testing industry knowledge, your work experience and financial modelling & valuation knowledge. 1st round was taken by manager and he asked me lot of questions, also tested my reasoning. But 2nd round was short and it was taken by director, he basically wanted to understand my profile.
