Intern Reviews
- “The culture is very inclusive and social. Especially in the New York office, I was excited to come into work every day and see my colleagues. We worked 8:30-5:30 every day. Great work/life balance, managers were extremely understanding of any conflicts.”
- “Great company culture. Everyone was super helpful and open to questions. I felt very supported through the entirety of the internship.”
- “The environment made the experience for me. I met so many cool, smart and personable people who I will be staying in touch with for life. The work-life balance was perfect, and the balance between in-person and remote made the process a lot easier, especially since I was not living in Boston. I typically worked about 9-10 hours a day, some days a little more, and some a little less, but it never felt too overwhelming or stressful.”
- “The work/life balance is the best I can ask for; everyone is understanding if you need a remote day or a day off, and it's actively encouraged within the company to have a good balance.”
Getting Hired Here
- “I had a great interviewer who asked me relatively fair questions. They were interested in getting to know me as well as the skill sets and passions I possess.”
- “Interviews were conducted professionally, and the process was organized. The final interview is in a format that is very specific to FactSet and unlike any other interviews I have experienced before. The interview process is indicative of the caliber of employees they want to hire (smart and committed).”
- “The internship hiring process was extensive and made me really find out why I wanted to intern for FactSet and got me excited for interviews and to start the internship. The Superday was quite intense because of how many back-to-back interviews I had.”
- “The interview content and number of interviews were very fair.”
