I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at FactSet (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I saw their stand at a career fair at my school, handed them my resume, and talked to them for about 15 min. They said to apply online, which I didn't. However, they still called me a little bit over a month later and asked to schedule a video interview. At the end of a 20 min video call, they offered to fly me out to Chicago for a super day. The video interview questions were all simple, behavioral questions. After the super day, they said they'd get back to me in 2 weeks.

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.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FactSet (London, England)
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.
