Question 1
Explain the company and job role offered Ratio analysis
I applied online. I interviewed at FactSet in Sep 2022
Interview
1)Online test which was very easy
2) Zoom interview with the manager
3)F2F with the head who is a foreigner.
Note : the hr team will not keep you posted if you are not selected even after completing 3 rounds. Felt they were unprofessional and had no decency to at least let me know the outcome.Rejected or not, i deserve a reply for giving up my time to do all this.

Question 1
2) Zoom interview with the manager : which was great. Asked questions like describe yourself, what financial knowledge do you have etc.
3)F2F with the head who is a foreigner: Felt she judged me even without knowing me as a person . First time i'm being told that " i do not think you will study the financial materials for this position" . Woww like you do not even know me as a person. Was already turned off by the attitude so didn't bother to prove myself to such an individual. We are not kids, remember that!
