      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at FactSet (Hyderābād) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      It started at waiting for 1 hr at gate before they eventually took us to facility.We got seated into a room and each candidate was then called one by one for entering details. This took around 1-2 hrs.Then we had Written test for design, written test for programming, Technical Interview 1, technical interview 2. Design written test - This was nicely crafted question where they asked architectural question around a requirement.It asks basic question like DB modelling, Solution modelling, security architecture etc. This was good but will give just 90 mins. So its better to be quick and at least attempt all question. Programming written test - This was 5 question regarding normal sorting and searching of string.very easy the thing is you have to write code on paper, which is bit difficult when we are used to writing in VSTS :) Technical Interview 1 - The panel was really good and focused on architecture and design. Very nice set of questions around various designs of web service and ASPX. Technical Interview 2 - This is where I was very bad experience due to two reason - 1. They will never intimate you for break and asks you to wait for 5 min for the process to get over, when they say 5 mins they will get back in at least 45 mins. I didn't had any food for 11 hrs, just coz of there poor planning and asking me to wait for 5 mins every time when you ask for break.This made me very tired at the end of the day when the interview was planned 2. The interviewer was girl and i am pretty sure when belonged to age, when c++ was discovered. She had her own logic for every question and needs same answer. If you give a different answer she will go tizzy. Example - you have array of doubles of share values, where you have to find profitable trading rates.I wanted the answer to be easy and lucid to understand. I said dI will find the max value an min value in array where min value index < max value index. Here the index denoted the day of the month. So i am trying to find the max value and min value such that max value lies ahead of min.You can't trade reverse. I don't think she got my answer but she stressed on finding the difference of the two stock prices. Now if you find price difference you have to iterate n*n time and bit less if apply smart approach. But my approach can yield in N loop and someone has to explain her that difference will be more obviously if the max value and min value is found in that set.I now you can do it more smartly but my question was to solve not to optimize.Anyways she didn't understand anything and wanted to hear subtraction word. she kept asking me about AJAX and old approach to problem as if the technology is rocket science and cant be learnt easily. I believed this is good company to deal with various design and architectural problem and of course language can be coded by anyone but to my surprise second interviewer was complete attached to technology requirement rather than looking on design skills. She was interviewing more of programmer than designer or SSE. I had a very bad experience due to less planning, no sync between management, there 5 mins waiting time and of course the lady who had her set of question and set of framed answerbut I do appreciate the first interviewer, he really asked some very smart questions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      I had a one-hour introductory call, followed by two technical interviews. Initially HR told me there would be only one technical interview, but they added a second one. After the second technical interview they stopped progressing my application, and I have one sencente feedback . What’s confusing is that during the interview everything was completed, they confirmed all tasks were covered, and the interview even finished a few minutes early. I asked several times if there was anything else they wanted to evaluate, and they said no. So I genuinely don’t understand the reason for the rejection.

      I interviewed at FactSet

      Interview

      Very misdirecting. No real conversation, every solution I proposed was problematic. I looked in the stl documentation of std:::list and my up my proposed solution in would have worked. i guess I was supposed to be confrontational and opened up the document in in std::list. Hacker rank kept completing the wrong code.

      Question 1

      Implement something, with no written requirements. And every solution was problematic
