I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IHS Markit (Washington, DC) in Apr 2012
Interview
Submitted application online, was contacted by phone 14 days later.
Very short interview on the phone, because they wanted to meet me in person asap.
Went to the interview a few days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
According to the internship description, focus was on Central and Eastern Europe, turns out it was only Eastern Europe. I was only familiar with Central Europe. It was very awkward as they asked me about Eastern Europe and I had no experience. This could have been asked on the phone already or they could have known by looking at my CV.
4 x 30 minutes interviews one after another. My main advice would be to make sure you research the role you are applying for and some background on what responsibilities they have
It was easy and fun. Interviewers were friendly and kind and explained day to day responsibilities well. They mentioned what i would be doing and was very straightforward. The interview was very quick and they replied quick as well.
Phone screen followed by in person on site interview ~ 4 hrs long with 11 or more people. Everyone on the team was great. Definitely some more challenging questions, but not an uncomfortable environment, just trying to understand your experience, interest in the role, and future career objectives. After in person a 2-hr technical excel test was given via email.
