Interview With HR + 3 Tests.
HR Interview:
Pretty basic, nothing technical.
Questions on CV, competency based, and, motivation for the job.
Tests:
Finance - As I am from a non finance background I found this the most difficult but still pretty easy . Just brush up on your financial terms
Maths test - Algebra based
Excel Test -
The test are not difficult at all, you will have more than enough time to finish them all
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Average process. Nothing special. I remember them asking me about their company’s stock price at the start of the day of my interview. No one was very interested in interviewing me and came off distant. They did treat me to lunch however, but the two gentlemen that escorted me were plain individuals with little to add to conversation.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Fortaleza, Ceará) in Mar 2016
Interview
applied online process took 2-3weeks
Video interview with HR. Try to stay relaxed during interview my interviewer was making notes herself so didn't really have time to look up at my body languages etc i made some key notes on the side and referred to it quickly. I wasn't really interested in factset so was happy with the outcome used it more for interviewing preparation for other companies. Hope this helps someone who's keen to work there
