I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Norwalk, CT) in Mar 2016
Interview
I was contacted by the HR via an email to schedule a general phone screen. I spoke to the HR and then she asked for a scheduling a technical phone screen with the hiring manager. He asked me a few questions on DS, Algorithms and DB. Next round was live coding on collabedit with phone with the hiring manager and one more engineer form his team. Next, an onsite interview was scheduled. I was first given a demo of what they do followed by 3 technical rounds (coding, design and db), 1 round with the hiring managers from 2 different teams and an HR round.
The HR is very sweet and soft spoken. Interviewers gave me hints and helped me during the interview wherever required. My overall experience with FactSet was very good.
