I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet
Interview
I gave 3 rounds of technical interview first round was purely into javascript based algorithm questions, although the job posting was for a fullstack role , I was mostly asked on the backend and very minimal on the frontend technologies. second round was with the manager who sits in US, it was again a technical design interview mostly concentrated on programming concepts rather than on any specific technology third round was with technical manager with few basic DSA questions. overall interview difficulty was medium, the process was smooth

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
I had a one-hour introductory call, followed by two technical interviews. Initially HR told me there would be only one technical interview, but they added a second one. After the second technical interview they stopped progressing my application, and I have one sencente feedback . What’s confusing is that during the interview everything was completed, they confirmed all tasks were covered, and the interview even finished a few minutes early. I asked several times if there was anything else they wanted to evaluate, and they said no. So I genuinely don’t understand the reason for the rejection.

Question 1
In first round he asked me two coding questions which are on data structure
Very misdirecting. No real conversation, every solution I proposed was problematic. I looked in the stl documentation of std:::list and my up my proposed solution in would have worked. i guess I was supposed to be confrontational and opened up the document in in std::list. Hacker rank kept completing the wrong code.
