I applied online. I interviewed at FactSet in Nov 2021
Interview
After the technical exam, I was scheduled an HR interview with one of the recruiters. She was very nice and accommodating. The HR interview were mostly about what I placed in my resume and some questions about how my character, how I work with others, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were questions about how we knew about the company, what are strengths and weaknesses were, etc.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Norwalk, CT) in Jan 2013
Interview
I had an initial phone screening which was quick and was asked some simple java questions such as the differences between an interface and an abstract class....very simple stuff. We also went through some of my previous experiences from my resume.
I was flown to their Norwalk office for an on site interview. There were four rounds where the first one was a Code Review. I was given code in C and I had to search for memory leaks and other optimizations. I had a data structures round where the question was regarding linked lists. My third interviews was regarding object oriented programming and how I would design a Chess game in java. My last interview was more casual with a senior director and had some behavioral questions.
The recruiter was very prompt and made all the traveling a seamless experience
