I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (New York, NY) in Aug 2012
Interview
Started off with a phone interview with a recruiter and followed it up with one with a developer there. I was unable to actually come on-site for a while the 2nd phone interview, and they were very willing to wait till I was available. I interviewed in their New York office, and the hospitality was AMAZING. They were extremely friendly, and I got a great vibe from the place. The interviewers definitely made me want to work there. In addition, my recruiter was absolutely AMAZING. Unlike many other recruiters for other companies, she was extremely helpful and replied back to my e-mails in an extremely prompt fashion. Overall, I would definitely recommend this company.
