Question 1
Background and experience for HR interview. ETL process-related questions for the technical. Situational for the fit.
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.

Hacker rank kept completing the wrong code.
