I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FactSet (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
They visited my university's career fair, where I made an effort to speak to them. I was excited to go to the first round interview, which was 30 mins, and was conducted by a person in HR. I think this was the biggest joke of an interview I have ever had... the person asked me about my resume line by line, reading through it as she went. It was obvious she hadn't read it before and seemed unfamiliar with the name of the Fortune 500 company I had worked for the summer before. She was friendly and I thought maybe they were just looking for personality in that brief 30 minutes? No idea. I wanted the position before I was interviewed, but left unsure because I found the interview so peculiar (it was like reading my resume outloud, which seemed unproductive). It was not a difficult interview but that also made it seem like it wasn't serious.

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.

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.
