I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Dec 2015
Interview
I was asked to complete an online Numerical and Finance test. They were pretty easy. Then got invited to a video interview. The interviewer was very nice and relaxing. She asked me about my academic background and why I chose my topic, if i had any favorite modules and why. Then she asked me about the difference between IB/IM/and Fixed Income. How their clients would use the platform in an M&A. Describe a reason why would a client contact you about the platform.
