I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process was highly disappointing. There was no clear communication regarding the schedule or timing, and the way the interaction was conducted lacked professionalism. I expected much better from a reputed company like FactSet. This experience fell far below expectations and left a negative impression, which was truly unexpected from such a prestigious organization.
