      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (New York, NY) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      The initial phone interview was rather straightforward, but the interviewer was kind of short and arrogant. Normal CS-theory questions about Big-O running times for specific algorithms and what sorting methods would be optimal given a set of data. The on-site interviews were 4 back to back interviews with two being engineering topics (algorithms and data structures was the first, in-depth system designs the second). The other two were personality and HR tests, if you consider those to be real interviews (which, I guess they kind of are).

      Question 1

      How would you implement a relational database schema where the only method acceptable is to store data is by using plain-text files?

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      I had a one-hour introductory call, followed by two technical interviews. Initially HR told me there would be only one technical interview, but they added a second one. After the second technical interview they stopped progressing my application, and I have one sencente feedback . What’s confusing is that during the interview everything was completed, they confirmed all tasks were covered, and the interview even finished a few minutes early. I asked several times if there was anything else they wanted to evaluate, and they said no. So I genuinely don’t understand the reason for the rejection.

      Question 1

      30 min python coding , 30 mins sql, 30 mins design

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at FactSet

      Interview

      Very misdirecting. No real conversation, every solution I proposed was problematic. I looked in the stl documentation of std:::list and my up my proposed solution in would have worked. i guess I was supposed to be confrontational and opened up the document in in std::list. Hacker rank kept completing the wrong code.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Implement something, with no written requirements. And every solution was problematic
