Pros

a good work life balace and laid back atmosphere. benefits package is good. there are also a number of other perks, including paid lunch and education assistance. some of these perks are being scaled back, however, as the company gets larger and given the current economic conditions.

Cons

compensation could be better and the level of employee competence is somewhat variable. the company mostly hires people right out of college, leading to a single-track mentality and a sort of cultish attitude. that being said, if people leave the company, they are often welcomed back and management respects the new perspective that outside experience brings.

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!
