On-campus First Round Interview
Very casual info session the night before interviews, employees in jeans and company t-shirts. Two page pre-interview test, asked to diagram a system and develop a plan/solution for an information systems case study. Brought into a small room with a white board and asked to explain above system diagram. Interviewer poked holes in reasoning for systems diagram and asked a lot of "why not this.." questions.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at S&P Global (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview ran for around 20 minutes for me. All my friends having this interview had a different experience according to the interviewer they were assigned.
They started by asking about the project in my resume, what role I played in the project, what tools and technologies were used. Then the interviewer went deep into Web Development area. I had worked on a few projects of web dev so I had some idea of what he was asking.
My friends were asked about their resumes in detail and also asked DSA questions but i was not asked DSA questions. So, it really depends on who is taking your interview to know what they will be asking.
