I applied through college or university. I interviewed at FactSet
Interview
On-campus recruitment. First round was a written test containing 3 standard questions on data structure and algorithms. Pretty easy but you have to give a proper explanation about the algorithm that you provide. Around 30 people out of ~100 were shortlisted for the second round. There 3 rounds in total - 2 technical interviews + 1 tech and HR.
First round is pretty easy. Questions based on projects that you have done. Make sure you have good projects on your resume. After that around 15 people were shortlisted for the next round.
Next round was difficult with questions on algorithms from geeksforgeeks. They had a set of 6 questions from which they asked any 3 questions and they want no other answer than ones written there. I didn't perform well in this round and so didn't get selected for the next one. But waiting for the next round was really frustrating because they didn't announce a shortlist and made us wait really long. The interview started at 10 am and extended till 9 pm. As I said, "real frustrating".

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.
