I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at FactSet (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Group of 5 potential candidates. Took us to lunch, gave us a basic IQ test, interview with 3-5 people around the office whole process takes about 5 hours. Gave a brief excel test as well. This was definitely one of the more difficult interview processes I have had but seems like a good company to work for.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Dec 2017
Interview
Standard online tests but with some brain teaser questions. Prompt invitation to a live video interview. Asked general competency questions and a lot of business specific questions. Questions were quite in depth. Make sure you know what the consultants do and what FactSet provides information about - e.g what types of clients, difference between types of investment/asset management.

Interview
Had interview over the Internet for the London office. Used factset to prepare so the questions are all already mentioned. Interview lasted for 30mins. Started off with questions about me and things on my cv then moved on to the questions about factset itself. I prepared with questions from glass door and it was all fine.

Interview
The day started by going out to lunch with two young FactSet Consultants. Following lunch, we returned to the office. We were given a demo of the software and we were then interviewed by four of the FactSet managers. Each manager had their own set of questions. During one of the interviews we were asked to complete a brain teaser quiz.
