J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez FactSet en nov. 2014
Entretien
Filled in online application
Got sent request to do online test - consisted of numerical test and financial test ( basic, you could have googled the answers whilst doing the test)
Got a response in 2 weeks and invited for face-to-face interview
After interview - had to do excel test,not sure how this went. I thought it went okay- I shall ask for feedback.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Because I had researched, i found the following questions easy to answer:
What do you think FactSet does?
Who are our competitors?
How would someone use FactSet?
Unexpected questions
Who else have you applied to? (I answered truthfully by mentioning PwC and credit Suisse - i don't know how the interviewer took this)
Another question which threw me off was: How did you hear about FactSet? I answered by saying the came to a career fair at my university- which was true. she then went on to ask me who was teh representative and I said I had forgotten their name. (Again, don't know how the interview took this)
These were the only 2 questions in the interview I struggled with

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez FactSet (Londres, Angleterre) en déc. 2019
Entretien
First Step was a video interview, questions were pretty straightforward. The second step was an assessment centre day in their offices. Two technical tests, a microsoft excel test and a trial of their Fact Set platform (received tutorial on the day)
Invited to HR video interview after completing the online application and two online tests (numerical and financial)
Video interview was pretty straightforward, half of it was talking about yourself and your experience (CV), other half was testing your knowledge on FactSet.
