Pros

Free lunch 4 days a week, good medical benefits, comfortable office environment

Cons

Promotions are scarce and not adequately compensated. The CEO cares more about image than providing a quality product. Most development work is sent overseas and is not held to a high standard. Few QA testers, lack of resources across the board. The company is more focused on marketing campaigns and installing giant Tv's in the office than employing the "best and brightest".

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!
