The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FactSet (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2010
Interview
The interview with FactSet was on the whole a very standard interview. She responded almost immediately after I sent in my application though it was somewhat difficult to get in touch with her following the initial phone call (which I was unable to answer). The questions were all incredibly straightforward. A couple behavioral questions but she mostly asked about my past experience in relative detail, how that experience could relate to the consulting position, where I had heard about the position, my educational qualifications and why I had selected those choices etc. The interview was pretty laid-back and somewhat short as it was near the end of the work day. I heard back from the interviewer via e-mail within several business days.

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.
