I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet in Oct 2021
Interview
They reach out to applicants or those they have identified as suitable candidates. The first interview is pleasant and serves as an introduction to the company, then a culture fit interview follows afterwards typically with a senior manager. If deemed culturally fit, a technical interview would be the last interview.
In between these interviews, you are kept updated by the recruiter and advocate. They also respond to your requests for updates.
All in all, it was a pleasant experience, though there are long intervals between interviews, maximum of 1 week.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
I had a one-hour introductory call, followed by two technical interviews. Initially HR told me there would be only one technical interview, but they added a second one. After the second technical interview they stopped progressing my application, and I have one sencente feedback . What’s confusing is that during the interview everything was completed, they confirmed all tasks were covered, and the interview even finished a few minutes early. I asked several times if there was anything else they wanted to evaluate, and they said no. So I genuinely don’t understand the reason for the rejection.

Question 1
In first round he asked me two coding questions which are on data structure
Very misdirecting. No real conversation, every solution I proposed was problematic. I looked in the stl documentation of std:::list and my up my proposed solution in would have worked. i guess I was supposed to be confrontational and opened up the document in in std::list. Hacker rank kept completing the wrong code.
