I was already working for Factset for a year when I responded to the interview. To external hires, this was a job opening. To me it was a promotion. The application process is how I'd put it, since it required more than just interviews. Anyway, there's a diagnostic test. Fail that and you proceed no further. So that's step 1. Step 2 is the interview with HR. You get asked general questions, the type more suited for external hires. Step 3 is the interview with your prospective supervisor. That gets challenging: what you know versus what they know, pretty much on the same work process you'll engage in. The last step is interview with senior management. I don't know if external hires go through this. I did. It was more a lecture than an interview, basically information on where I fit in the company in my new role.

Two files will be given for processing, where the raw file should be edited to the required accuracy. And once we clear those two files there will be an interview.
