FactSet Consultant Interview

Interview Details – FactSet Consulting Managers know what they want and go after it fast. After speaking with them at the career fair at my school and leaving my resume, a recruiter called a few days later and asked me to come in for an all-day interview the next day. There were four of us interviewing at the same time. We were called in one at a time by 4 different managers and interviewed 1:1 with them for about 20 minutes each. Like any interview, there were expected questions such as "Why FactSet" and unexpected questions such as "Tell me something you wouldn't want me to know about you." They seemed to look for whether or not they want to work with the interviewee and whether or not s/he has quick problem solving abilities and excellent communication skills. My interview process took 1 day; they called me and offered me a position that following evening. I was thrilled by the news and accepted the offer about 1 week later. I decided to work there because I am attracted to the dynamic of the culture and working environment, the young people, and ultimately, what FactSet does as a company.
