I applied online. I interviewed at S&P Global (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
First round with HR; Second round with managers. What qualities to have to be a good editor? Any good quantitative skills? And some behavior questions too. It took about one hour and two managers rotated to ask questions. Not too out of the range, but need good preparation. Have to have a good sense of what they are doing there, be prepared and clear in your delivery.
