I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at FactSet (San Mateo, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
1on1 interview on campus. I was selected for the second round and flown to San Mateo. Interviewed with 5 managers which lasted all morning. There were some brain teaser questions but otherwise straightforward. Received an email a few weeks later that I did not get the position. I thought the brainteasers and group brainteasers were a waste of time.

Interview
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.
