FactSet Interview Experience | On-Campus 2021

Round-1: The first round comprised of 22 (20-MCQ and 2 Coding) questions including aptitude, logical, and technical portions(Test Duration: 1.5 hours):-

• Quantitative aptitude and Logical part were much more predominant, the questions were more intuitive and not typical paper pen/formula based. They were not very difficult but were very tricky.
• Suggestion: I would suggest doing practice from sites like Indiabix as it will give the confidence to solve problems.
• The technical aptitude part covered questions from data structures(specifical tree), digital electronics, and questions from microprocessor & other electronics topics. C output questions were also there.
• Suggestion: I would suggest doing quizzes from GeeksforGeeks to get in touch with all concepts of C and other subjects.
• Tips:- Solve the questions with a calm mind. Don’t stress yourself during tests.
• After this Round 10 was Selected out of 270 Students and I was one of them.

Round-4 (HR cum Manager Round): In this round, First of all, this round is the Manager round, not the HR round. The interviewer gives their Introduction and I suppose to give mine, Actually, I am a bit nervous about this round and I fumbled in front of the Interviewer but they calmed me down.

3. Then they start asking about Family and HR Questions.
