I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Austin, TX) in Apr 2018
Interview
Great interview process. First round is a webcam interview with a recruiter. The interview is very conversational and much more about fit than previous financial experience. Being able to talk about basic excel functions and showing that you are interested in following the markets is definitely a plus.
The second round is a super day in whatever office you are interviewing for. You start with a demo of the Factset system and then have three different interviews that are all laid back. You also give a ten minute presentation over a topic of your choosing and end the day by going out to lunch with some employees.
It is a very young company filled with people looking to do great work but also have a lot of fun, so show your personality and you will be fine!
Applied via the official website and progressed through the initial screening process. Completed an online assessment focused on financial concepts, quantitative reasoning, and analytical problem-solving. Successfully passed the evaluation and was invited by the Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to attend the first-round HR video interview as part of the Client Solutions Associate recruitment process.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Hong Kong) in Apr 2026
Interview
Apply on the official website and afterwards receive email about hackerrank assessment, which is fairly easy with ample timing. When you pass the test, then HR will schedule 10~15 min phone screening ask basic intro question, also ask expected salary and will explicitly tell you the max including bonus. Then 1st round interview with junior staff with roleplay (just focus on the video shown and make sure to be friendly) and typical behavioral question. If successful, then go onto 2nd round with vp level and might be asked in a language specified in a role to see if the applicant is proficient. Not too hard interview if you research about the role and company well. Overall positive experience w/ quick turnaround for each round, not keep you waited unless rejected
