I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet in Oct 2013
Interview
1. phone call, non-technical; just gauging interests
2. waiting period (1-2 weeks)
3. onsite interview; all interviews are done in pairs; it's pretty rare that one person will ever be more than an observer. Two rounds of technical, one of experience, one round of human resources, and then a feedback round (which I don't think has any effect).
4. short waiting period before response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Considering the other questions I normally get asked, none of these were hard. Good general advice: Try to be agile in thinking, and like every whiteboard interview ever, they like it when you talk. They cover algorithms and style.

I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Hyderābād) in Dec 2025
Interview
It was a very casual interview. I was told the interview would start at 8:45 AM but it started around 10 AM. The interviewer was very friendly and walked me through my thought process towards solving the given problem. There were two rounds of interviews, purely technical though I did not get shortlisted for the second round.
