Pros

Good benefits, decent pay, relaxed work environment. Relatively young company which recruits highly from college, so it's a good environment to enter out of college. They begin with a multi week training program that allows new employees to get up to speed on different parts of FactSet.

Cons

Bad employees are rarely dealt with, this can result in lower morale for the good employees.

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!
