Pros

Free medical benefits, free lunch and stocked pantry

Cons

Do not offer career development, growth or paths. Do not have performance discussions or periodic check ins. For those that have been working at FactSet for 15 + years they treat us well and will do more for "us" than the new group. They are resistant to change even though they claim to want it. They are the most unorganized, dysfunctional place I have ever worked. They do not believe in retaining talent, they would rather protect a manager that has been there for a long time than protect the employees that actually produce and know what they are doing. Extremely behind the times and are trying to play in the big leagues when they are still in the sand box.

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!
