      Graduate Consultant Interview

      21 Aug 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet in Aug 2015

      Interview

      Starts with 2 tests, numerical and financial. The numerical test is a bit of a joke, 20% of 250 was one of the questions for example. Financial test is fine, if you don't know something then just google it, it's not hard. Then an Excel test, most people have described that already so I won't go into too much on it. Bit of google on that will help you through as well. Next stage is a Google Chat interview, my interviewer seemed very disinterested but that seems to be a theme with this company. After that is an assessment centre and then interviews with two managers. General feel was this was a lot more finance based than other consultancy interviews so make sure you look at each of those sections on their website. Also, the job isn't like other consultancy jobs so take that into consideration.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why consultancy at Factset specifically? The difference between Investment Management, Investment Banking and Fixed Income? What would an Investment Banker use FactSet for? What would an Investment Manager use FactSet for? They wanted specifics here. Who are their competitors and how do they differentiate themselves from them?
