Pros

Really couldnt be more smitten with this company after 9 months. The pay is great. There is an emphasis on recruiting smart but friendly people. The company is constantly focused on taking care of you. Immediate opportunity to grow your career.

Cons

Really the only cons I can think of are: People don't know the company yet, so telling your friends you work for Factset requires an explanation. Even though we're a top 100 place to work in America for like 8 years in a row. Also I work in Norwalk and Im not a big fan of the location. But its not as bad as I assumed and there are opportunities for me to move to NY, Austin, and San Francisco.

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!
