      Consultant Interview

      9 Nov 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (San Mateo, CA)

      Interview

      The process hiring process consisted of two phone interviews followed by an on site interview. The people all seemed very nice and professional. There are no technical questions that they ask you and they are looking for personality over everything else. They stress that you will NOT be promoted within the first 2 years, so if you're big on that, keep that in mind. The questions they asked were very similar (if not exactly the same) as everyone has posted thus far on the site, so just read everyone's reviews. A little bit more about the on site interview, it started with a little 10 minute into on the company and then consisted of 4-5, 30 minute interviews where the various people basically asked you about your resume and whatnot (they also take you to lunch after all is said and done). Also be prepared to ask them a lot of questions. Some things I picked up from the interview which haven't already been posted are that they give you $8.50 for lunch each day at a SPECIFIC restaurant (the daily restaurant rotates), there is 6 weeks of training at HQ, and also that when you travel they give you ~$60 per day for food and stuff. The job is very phone heavy as you are essentially customer support for the 1st two years before they give you your own book. Also, you generally interview with 3-4 other people (and rotate amongst the interviewers). If you are going to receive an offer, it will likely come the day after. If you haven't received an offer within 3 days don't expect them to send you a rejection notice as many have also mentioned on here. Just take it in stride and move on. P.S. there was no presentation or group brain teaser

      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.

      Consultant Interview

      24 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England)

      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.
