Pros

Great way to learn about the financial industry without being in banking. Growing company with great people. Everyone receives a laptop so any if not most employees are able to work from home. In terms of when you take vacation and time off (as well as doctors appointments, leaving work early, etc.) if you respect FactSet, FactSet will respect you. If management trusts that you're not cutting corners, they are very reasonable and flexible with your needs and schedule.

Cons

A bit difficult to make it here and be able to move around if you don't start as a consultant.

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!
