I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at S&P Global (Toronto, ON)
Interview
The initial round went well. In the subsequent rounds, I was asked various questions about Python, database joins, and Scala-Spark. However, during the second round focused on ElasticSearch, it appeared that neither interviewer was well-versed in the topic. They asked irrelevant questions and frequently switched between unrelated subjects.

Was reached out to on LinkedIn by a 3rd party recruiter, as they had trouble filling the role. 3rd party recruiter connected me with the internal recruiter, who got me setup with a phone screen on the team. Did one 1 hour phone screen, then they scheduled me for a follow-up video interview with others on the team. Finally, they flew me to corporate HQ in NYC for an 8 hour day of interviews with HR, VPs over the role, team members, and the hiring manager.
