I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FactSet (New York, NY) in Jan 2013
Interview
Applied online and reached out via LinkedIn to some current employees.
Phone interview and the face-to-face at the Manhattan office. First had a product demonstration and then a variety of interviews with current consultants and senior consultants. Met with a total of 9 people including HR.
Questions weren't too difficult, mostly why FactSet, what will you bring to the table, what do you know about finance and then an easy Excel question regarding VLOOKUPS.
After the interviews, went to lunch with two consultants.
Would have LOVED to know how I performed on the interview, except that after sending thank you letters to everyone I met with and following up with the HR woman more than once, I never even received a Yes/No. For a company that prides itself on customer service, it doesn't make a good impression when you cannot let a candidate know of their status even after they ask multiple times.

Interview
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.
