I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at S&P Global (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
The application was online and it took about about 6 months before I got an email to schedule a telephonic interview. Because it took so long, I had actually forgotten I had applied to this position. The manager who called me was a great conversationalist and asked great questions but was not knowledgeable about programming subjects.
