Business Outlook
Pros
The people here are very skilled, balanced and willing to do a good job. As long as you are doing a good job management will leave you alone to do what you need to do. FactSet is very achievement oriented and there is a feeling of "we are all in this together." Management is open and accessible and more often than not is as technical as you are.
Cons
FactSet does not seem to believe in formal education and if that is a big issue for you it is not a good place to be. Employees tend to progress on their own. Opportunities at FactSet usually means putting in the time career wise, so industry hires can sometimes be overlooked even though they may have great experience to bring to the table.
