I applied online. I interviewed at FactSet (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The first round interview was a 30-minute interview with a recruiter, she was super nice and asked questions about my resume/why I wanted to work at FactSet. Got an email for a final round interview about 2 weeks later. The final round started with a product demo for the company's software, then a 30-minute interview including a short Excel portion. After that another 30 minute interview in which we had to prepare a short How-To presentation to demonstrate teaching skills.
introductory call with recruiter - basic motivational questions ie why the role and company, technical interview using excel and more behavioural, final interview including presentation and follow up questions/ some technical questions

Question 1
Why a FinTech company and not a traditional finance company
I applied online. I interviewed at FactSet (Taguig) in Feb 2026
Interview
Very long hiring process. Hiring manager was nice, but HR was slow in replying. Compared to other companies I've been looking at, compensation in FactSet was better. Just review the concepts HR gives you and you'll do well in the technical interviews.

Question 1
Do you have anything else to say that isn't on your resume?
Very smooth and straightforward, with kind interviewers that asked lots of interesting questions, seem to genuinely care a lot about the work and the company. Be sure to brush up on excel and read the interview materials that they provide for you, as well as the usual behavioral questions
