Application process includes cover letter & application form, first round interview and numeracy/excel/finance tests, assessment centre and final round interview.
First round interview lasted around 15 minutes with someone responsible for campus recruiting. Standard interview questions: Why Factset? Why consultancy? What is the most difficult thing you can do in Excel? Do you know the difference between IB and IM?
I was then taken to a small room to complete my tests. I had 90 minutes to complete all three in the order of my choice. The numeracy and excel tests were very straightforward. Finance a bit trickier as I don't have a financial background but with a little revision of definitions you shouldn't struggle.
For the assessment centre I was asked to prepare a "microteach" - a 10 minute lesson on a skill of my choice. I presented to 7 people (2 assessors). There was also a group task where you were given a list of a consultant's activities for the upcoming days, which you had to prioritise. Again this was in front of 2 assessors. Not particularly difficult, just requires some logical reasoning.

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.

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.
