There are three rounds of interview, the first round is a group in, 5 to 6 ppl in the room and they will give u a 30 45 mins of writing test. The writing test is pretty simple, just a test of simple maths, excel formula and financial knowledge.
Then the interviewer will ask candidates to start group discussion in different topics, such as what items u would choose to bring with you to survive as long as possible on an isolated island.
The second round of the interview is a general interview, interviewer ask some general interview questions and would like to test how much you know about factset's product as well as the competitors.
Unfortunately I am not able to proceed to the final round of the 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.
