I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at FactSet (Hyderābād) in Apr 2015
Interview
Quite a great experience. The recruiter called me and explained about the opening which was directly related to my skill-set. Recruiter had been amazing and very helpful throughout the process. Had a round on phone, then was called to the Hyderabad Office (DLF, Gachibowli) for process. First was a written round with questions related to algorithms, parsing, regular expressions, simple Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Had a 1:1 interview, and another panel interview after lunch. Was called next day for another 1:1 round and a phone interview with their Director of Engineering.
