Pros

Excellent training program Tons of time to learn at your own rate Opportunities to grow (although you'll notice not everyone there is trying to do this)

Cons

There are many non-career oriented people. Some people like this culture, but I prefer to surround myself with highly motivated and driven colleagues. You may have a lot of self-directed time, some people cannot handle this well.

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!
