I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet in Mar 2022
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter the next day. We discussed my experience and goals for my next role. The process moved quickly and I was scheduled to speak to the hiring manager of the team for one hour. This session involved two Hackerrank questions (one coding, one SQL). The difficulty of the questions was fairly basic.
A little while later, the recruiter got back to me and said that the team I interviewed for did not have enough budget for another hire and offered to forward my resume to a different team, so I accepted.
I had a second 1-hour interview with two members from a different team (one sr engineer and the hiring manager). This round also involved two easy-level Hackerrank questions. I thought this was just the first round so I didn't ask a lot of questions, but it turns out this was actually the only round because I got an offer a few days later. I ended up declining the offer but the interview process moved fast and was straightforward, and the recruiter was helpful throughout the process.

Interview
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.
