I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England)
Interview
Online Application via the website, fairly standard.
Online testing, bit tricker than your average pyschometric test, some puzzle type math questions and some basic financial and accounting questions.
Thereafer, an online interview on a portal they set you up on; questions include:
• Tell me about a time when you have worked in a team?
• Tell me about a time when your have used excellent communication skills?
• What is the difference between investment banking and investment management?
• What sort of clients does Factset cater to?
• What sort of problem does a consultant help a client with?
So, technical, soft skills and having a good working knowledge of what sort of firms/industries you may help/how you may help them. Pretty comprehensive for a video interview I'd say.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Dec 2017
Interview
Standard online tests but with some brain teaser questions. Prompt invitation to a live video interview. Asked general competency questions and a lot of business specific questions. Questions were quite in depth. Make sure you know what the consultants do and what FactSet provides information about - e.g what types of clients, difference between types of investment/asset management.

Interview
Had interview over the Internet for the London office. Used factset to prepare so the questions are all already mentioned. Interview lasted for 30mins. Started off with questions about me and things on my cv then moved on to the questions about factset itself. I prepared with questions from glass door and it was all fine.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at FactSet
Interview
The day started by going out to lunch with two young FactSet Consultants. Following lunch, we returned to the office. We were given a demo of the software and we were then interviewed by four of the FactSet managers. Each manager had their own set of questions. During one of the interviews we were asked to complete a brain teaser quiz.
