Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at CRISIL.
Associate Director
They have started face to face interview when all other companies take interview virtually on zoom/Teams call at least the first round. Interviewer reached over 10 mins late. No apologies. None of the questions were technical. Interview wrapped up in less than 15 mins. Seems interviewer already made up their mind not to continue even before the start of interview. No feedback, no formal communication from HR.
- Can you tell me about your background, experience, and expertise, and why you are interested in Crisil?
Senior Associate
It was an on-campus interview, and it wasn't too difficult, overall an easy interview. They asked basic SQL and database questions, like joins and stuff. There was only one round of interviews.
- Can you explain Inner Join?
- Can you explain Left Join?
- Tell me about basic aptitude questions.
Associate
I applied through the company website and then got a call from HR for an interview. The selection process included an aptitude test, a finance and general economics aptitude test, and a summary writing exercise, all bundled together. After that, there was a face-to-face interview.
- How would you go about forecasting the performance of a company in the IT sector, or any sector for that matter?
- Could you explain how you would assess a company's liquidity, detailing the relevant ratios and their implications in real-world scenarios?
- What are the key financial ratios used to evaluate a company's liquidity and overall financial stability, including their formulas and practical implications?
