Pros

Salary is not as bad as other companies, you can make your peace with it for a while. They provide food and transport. Managers are helpful, they listen to you and always approve leaves unless there is actually a threshold issue.

Cons

Work is not as exciting as one might think. It is repetitive and gets monotonous really soon. For long term, there is nothing exciting, no crazy salary hikes or abroad opportunities. Rare that someone moves into consulting or front office. But smart people can use this opportunity as a great experience to make a move into IB or asset management.

Pros

Work from home 3-4 days a weeks

Cons

Senior Management is Akin to a Sorority or Fraternity. They are treated exceptionally well and are shameless in their pursuits of recognition. Forced socialization - whether or not you participate in company events is part of your performance reviews. It's not enough to be a friendly, helpful coworker DEI Disgrace - millions and millions of dollars spent on making sure the wrong people are in the wrong job. But hey, they're the right ethnicity! Forced volunteering - another part of your annual review. They give you time off to volunteer at a company-sponsored event. But if you are the type who likes to just do your job, go home, and find life's satisfaction elsewhere, don't join Factset!
