I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at FactSet in Sep 2015
Interview
There was a career fair at our school and I spoke to a recruiter there. He didn't ask about my GPA and I was asked about things on my resume (obviously). I was emailed the next day about a phone interview. The interview was about 30 minutes. I was hit with questions almost the entire time. It was one of my first phone interviews so I definitely did not do as well as I could have, so I understand the declination. The only qualm that I have is that FactSet may seem to come in with a bias with their interviews. My friend also interviewed by phone, but was not asked a single technical question.

It was a very casual interview. I was told the interview would start at 8:45 AM but it started around 10 AM. The interviewer was very friendly and walked me through my thought process towards solving the given problem. There were two rounds of interviews, purely technical though I did not get shortlisted for the second round.
