I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CRISIL (Mumbai) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was around 15 20 mins interview. I had a prior experience in marketing side during my undergrad days so for 10 mins they kept on pushing about how good fit i am for marketing and business development side and they have opportunities in that domain if i wanted to join there. They were trying to convince me i am not a good fit for finance but for marketing. After that they asked me on finance side only a couple of questions. Asked me about my expected salary and if i have questions. I haven't heard from them yet probably will be in a week.
