Phase one and two of the interview process was unusual because the hiring manager reached out to me directly via LinkedIn. We had an informal chat, and two weeks later I received an invite to a 30 minute interview with a panel. Then, two more interviews, both two months apart. In total, it took about three months to complete all rounds of interviews, followed by radio silence.
The best way I can summise my overall experience with S&P Global - it has the most archaic and protracted interview process I've came across in my carreer. I've interviewed with Google, but that's a different league all together. It's more of an intensive test of ones entrepreneurial abilities. I did receive the offer but declined due to personal reasons. S&P Global, has a long way to go to be anywhere close to Google's interview practices. I'm not saying it's the best, but it works!
S&P Global has a lot of improvements to make if they want to attract and retain their talent. Interview experience is important to candidates as it reveals a bunch about the organisation. If you want to resolve the great resignation issue, then overhaul your entire recruitment process!
