The interview process was smooth. I had 2 rounds of interview - one HR round then CXO level round. The interview was around understanding my profile and personality. The process completed within one day in 3-4 hours.

For a seemingly simple role as an EA, the selection process had multiple stages and took a long time. I had applied on Jan 14th and only got the final response by Feb 23rd. First there was a basic screening by the HR, then a phone interview with a senior employee, then face-to-face interview with head of the Asset Mgmt dept and finally with CRISIL's client who had an EA vacancy and had requested for candidates through CRISIL I had cleared all the rounds and in the end I met the client and he said that I am 'overqualified' despite the fact that I am a fresher. And he mentioned in the end that they will make their decision by the end of February 2020. Later on I decided to email the HR regarding the status and they said the position is on hold. SUCH A LONG DRAWN INTERVIEWING PROCESS and I spent so much money and time to attend these interviews and in the end, they couldn't even bother to notify candidates. Clearly the HR and the client doesn't care about candidates. Pls be careful while applying for external positions with CRISIL's clients. CRISIL won't have much control over them beyond a point.
