Pros

free lunch, free snacks, ESOPP, nice location outside of the city

Cons

If you like to be around silent corporate drones, mired in bureaucracy, trying to find the cheapest and fastest way to do something then this is the place for you! Even if the fastest and cheapest way takes obscenely long and the programming or data are wrong- a significant portion of the data is- that's going to be someone else's problem later and the overseas workers problem now.

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!
