Consultant

I met a FactSet Consulting Manager at a Career Fair, and spoke to him for about 20 minutes, he asked for my resume and told me that a recruiter would be in touch for a phone interview. The recruiter emailed me two days later and set up the interview for that week. I had a 20 minute behavior phone interview (included a lot of company knowledge), then was offered to fly out to San Francisco for a final interview. The final interview was an all day event, starting off with a 45 minute introduction and product demo. The first one on one interview was an excel test and behavioral interview. They turned a computer towards me, and gave me five minutes to complete everything from min max etc, to conditional formatting, Nested Ifs and V-lookup. They want to see if you are resourceful when struggling (using f1 for help etc). I was then asked general questions about me. The second interview was a behavioral with a consulting manager and a consultant. This was behavioral, and they asked questions about customer service and how I felt about working with intense or difficult customers. The third interview was financial knowledge. They asked basic stuff, company stock price, some foreign and domestic indexes, recent news, what the PE ratio was and what it means, and how you would invest a million dollars. The fourth interview was with another Consulting Manager, and he asked behavioral and leadership questions, biggest role models, how you deal with conflict etc. They got back to me quickly after the interview process.

Culture is super laid back in office, everyone was nice, and it looked like a fun environment. When on client, it changes as you are dressed business professional, and there to satisfy the customer needs related to FactSet and place a positive brand image on the firm.
