I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Aug 2024
Interview
In total a 3 round interview process. The first round is a standard screening with a recruiter discussing motivations for the role and your background. The second is an online interview with two managers, where an excel test is conducted with one and a demo of one of their products with the other, alongside general questions surrounding your CV, finance, and the solutions they offer. The final interview is in person where you'll also be asked to create a presentation from a selected range of topics. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the company does not give feedback even when you have reached the final interview stage which is a bit annoying, however the process is not too difficult and they provide you with a lot of information and preparation tools before each interview. Just remember to do a lot of research on the company and become familiar with the different industries they operate in.

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
