I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Norwalk, CT) in Apr 2016
Interview
First round on-campus interview with HR. Second round (final) interview at headquarters in Norwalk, CT which included a demo of FactSet to start the day 4 back-to-back interviews (3 consulting, 1 hr). Then we had a brainteaser quiz and shadowed a consultant for 30 mins then was taken out to lunch. Questions are easy if you prepare and look at glassdoor but would be difficult if you did not prepare.

Straightforward. You begin with a telephone interview, followed by a group interview with you work on a group project and share a talent/skill you possess. If successful, you will then go through several rounds of interview with hiring manager and other senior stakeholders.

Interview
There was an initial virtual interview with HR and then an interview the the manager from the US. HR lady was friendly and was fast to respond to emails. The manager didn’t seem experienced in interviewing, he said so himself and went for someone that didn’t require onboarding training. He said he doesn’t expect knowledge on equity when being quizzed on it but yet the reason for not getting the role was lack of knowledge on it. Was not pleased with this misleading behaviour. The decision felt rushed as they only gave a reply once I emailed so felt like they already had the candidate chosen.
