I applied through college or university. I interviewed at FactSet (Mumbai) in May 2024
Interview
First there was an Aptitude test followed by Group Discussion and then Personal Interview. Post clearing the interview there was a case study given to test your approach to problem solving and handling multiple situations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Being a financial company, the interview was strictly based on different financial aspects like CAPM, ratios and how do i explain PE ratio to a child. Also they asked me give an elevator pitch about a product which I believe will be beneficial for the company. They also asked a situation based question wherein how I spearheaded a technical change. Rest all was CV based interview, I had finance workex only so they asked everything in detail related to that.
Applied via the official website and progressed through the initial screening process. Completed an online assessment focused on financial concepts, quantitative reasoning, and analytical problem-solving. Successfully passed the evaluation and was invited by the Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to attend the first-round HR video interview as part of the Client Solutions Associate recruitment process.

Interview
Apply on the official website and afterwards receive email about hackerrank assessment, which is fairly easy with ample timing. When you pass the test, then HR will schedule 10~15 min phone screening ask basic intro question, also ask expected salary and will explicitly tell you the max including bonus. Then 1st round interview with junior staff with roleplay (just focus on the video shown and make sure to be friendly) and typical behavioral question. If successful, then go onto 2nd round with vp level and might be asked in a language specified in a role to see if the applicant is proficient. Not too hard interview if you research about the role and company well. Overall positive experience w/ quick turnaround for each round, not keep you waited unless rejected
