Pros

Work life balance, ok pay, free lunch, good people to work with. They are willing to help and teach. Not many politics, laid back.

Cons

Stale technology, slow, inefficient, pay is way less than competitors. After a while, you feel yourself falling behind the cutting edge stuff, and you can keep up.

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!
