I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at FactSet (Hartford, CT) in Nov 2015
Interview
Interview included an online coding test (fizz buzz was the most difficult question, so it was fairly simple) that was monitored by FactSet employees. Once I passed that, I was flown out to their offices in CT for an on site interview. The on site interview included an interview with a senior project lead that went over what the company does, what department they were hiring for (Analytical Product Engineering) and what an employee could expect as far as their work goes. Additionally, there was another software engineer that took each of the candidates out for lunch off-site to have a culture-fit conversation about what the office vibe is like, how friendly staff is, and what sort of opportunities FactSet provids outside of the office. Lastly was a whiteboard technical interview with two senior software engineers going over some basics of networking and client-server communication.
