I applied through college or university. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at FactSet (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
leave out my resume in college career fair, and got an email after a week or so that I am invited to a phone interview with a software engineer in their company.
Phone interview: asked me to elaborate two projects listed on my resume, and then asked me a very unusual question, because it is certainly not a algorithm question, and he spent more than 10 mins to clarify the question... and I don't think he understood what I said. After that, I asked him some questions about his role in company, his team etc.. He gave a positive feedback to my performance and I got rejected the next day
