You can use $q and promise. $http is an asynchronous call

factory

test.factory('DataService', function($http, $log, $q) {
    return {
        getEmployees: function( ) {
            var d = $q.defer();
            $http({method: 'GET', url: 'php/data.php'})
                .success(function(data, status, header, config){
                    d.resolve(data);
                }.error(function(error){
                    d.reject(error);
                });
            return d.promise;
        },
        getTest: function( ) {
            return "test123";
        }
   };
});

Controller

DataService.getEmployees().then(function(data){
    $scope.test = data;
});
