      Consultant Interview

      3 Dec 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet in Oct 2011

      Interview

      Applied through University Career website and attended career fair to get a 20 minute 1:1 interview with HR rep. Very straight forward "Why FactSet?" and "Tell me about yourself" questions. Was invited to a final round interview day on the spot. A weke later, I went to the HQ for the final round which was a FactSet demo, 5 separate 30 minute 1:1 interviews asking the same "Why Factset?", "Tell me about yourself", and some specific questions relating to my resume. All 5 interviews were pretty much the same and it is purely a personality contest at that point. Make sure you smile, act calm but engaging, and just be yourself if you have a good personality and hope you find common ground with your interviewers. (I ended up talking about sports with one interviewer for 15 minutes out of the interview). I started off on the wrong foot with one interviewer and am certain this is the reason I got a "thank you but no thank you" email a few days later. I hear they call you within 2-3 hours after leaving if they want to offer you the position. After this they take you out to lunch and have you sit in on client calls for about a half hour. (Basically shows what you would be doing if you work there-- it is a call center where you consistently solve clients problems over the phone -- Not the most fun job description but you have to start somewhere) Overall, the company seemed fun and tight-knit. Consultants are all peers and go out together after the work days over, etc.

      Straightforward. You begin with a telephone interview, followed by a group interview with you work on a group project and share a talent/skill you possess. If successful, you will then go through several rounds of interview with hiring manager and other senior stakeholders.

      Consultant Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England)

      Interview

      There was an initial virtual interview with HR and then an interview the the manager from the US. HR lady was friendly and was fast to respond to emails. The manager didn’t seem experienced in interviewing, he said so himself and went for someone that didn’t require onboarding training. He said he doesn’t expect knowledge on equity when being quizzed on it but yet the reason for not getting the role was lack of knowledge on it. Was not pleased with this misleading behaviour. The decision felt rushed as they only gave a reply once I emailed so felt like they already had the candidate chosen.
