Pros

1. You are not pushed to complete things as fast as possible. Work happens at your pace until there is something important. 2. There is always someone to help you if you are struck. Not knowing things is not looking down upon, you will be asked to learn it. 3. Salary is good for the work we do. 4. Oncall is interesting. 5. Work from home. 6. Global culture.

Cons

Once we learn the tricks of the trade there is a lean learning curve.

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!
