Pros

- Free lunch Monday - Thursday - Snacks in the office - Nice environment, the culture with other employees at my level is what is keeping me here - Old tech stack, but moving to new technologies. - Good work life balance, can work from home.

Cons

- Little career progression, all opportunities go to those in the american offices - It's supposed to be a "global" company, but it's really an american company with offices elsewhere in the world - A medium sized company struggling to transition into a large company. This is evident from hiring freezes and budget cuts (fruit was downgraded recently). - Paid well as a graduate, but underpaid compared to competitors in the industry. - No bonusses, promotions seem to be related to tenure rather than achievement.

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!
