I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (Youngstown, OH) in Jun 2015
Interview
Very comfortable and professional. Applied. Got called for an interview about 2 weeks later. Got offered the job within two days after their interviews were over. Do your research about this field before going to the interview. They don't expect experts, but you should know a little about the current economy.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Describe a current financial news event and how it's affected the economy.
In my case, it was smooth and fast. I think it was 2 to 3 interviews. Just be yourself. It was not very hard but is nerve-wracking so. But I didn't make it to the final interview due to schedule conflict. I tried reapplying again but they didn't contacted me after trying again.
Great company as per reviews and good benefits.
