I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CRISIL (Hyderābād) in Jun 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me about an opening at Crisil. And scheduled the first round of interview.
On the interview day, the interviewer did not join at the right time, i waited for 15mins and informed the recruiter. Then i received a reply saying interviewer had issue with the laptop so scheduled to the next day.
Next day interview started at the right time. Interviewer didn't know what kind of questions to ask. He asked where iam good dsa and then went on asking what is bfs and dfs no further questions on that. He went on asking java,oops, javascript, react based simple questions and at the end asked spring boot architecture(i have o experience on spring boot already informed). I felt like he was googling the interview questions to be asked
