I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Frost & Sullivan in Mar 2010
Interview
Was not at all a great deal.
Stage 1: Screening + Apti. Round: A last bench - B.Com Graduate from Tier-2 arts college in Chennai can solve such apti question if you are applying at the range of Intern till Research Analyst.
Stage 1.a: Screening + Bakwas Round: If you are for S.R.A profile, welcome to my casefile. A recruiter would drop a call and will pass on a case-study and a essay writing. You will be given ample time to submit those files to the Team/ Vertical Managers.
Note to stage 1 & 1.a: These Managers/Directors are so great that they don't have time to look at those files/ resumes/ SOPs word-by word and soon or later, you will get a call from the same guyz for negotiation. (Assuming that there's none better/cheaper than you). Some verticals have even got Duos (managers) to hire one position. You wont have come across such interesting ill-equipped managers/ directors at any organization lacking functional-technical skills. They dont hone/ learn at all during their entire 7/10/12 yrs of service here in.
Stage 2 : Its just the money-ball/ negotiation game by the managers/directors for paying those such peanuts.
Stage 3: Offer letter would be a doctored document/ cut - copy - paste from other companies, with no formatting/ Typo's/ improper fonts.

Question 1
There were all kinds of ques related to job profile and topic.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Frost & Sullivan (Chennai) in July 2022
Interview
The Hiring manager and HR give few topics to you and ask you to prepare a short presentation, a social media post and a social media document. Time given depends on the hiring manager. It is usually 3-5 working days. If they like your content, they call you for asking questions about your market research report(presentation and other docs). They mostly look out for people who are able to convince whatever information they put in their content documents is correct and enough.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked questions about the way I did market research, why I put the information as I did and how I present my findings to them.
Interview process was fairly good but the total recruiting time takes too long and in some cases takes more than 4 months. HRs are too slow and lazy. Overall the interview process is good.
