Good job if you're in a good department - Software Engineer FactSet Employee Review

Pros

Work/Life balance Benefits/Lunch Cool technologies on some teams Raises are good if you're truly a top performer - other reviews that say you never get a bonus or a good raise just weren't actually top performers. Also can be team dependent. New CTPO seems to have a better technology perspective than previous CTO

Cons

Raises can be below industry standards for average employees Compensation can also be team-dependent, the system requires a manager that will fight for you Rampant outsourcing means engineers may not have US jobs within a few years Some teams stuck working on outdated technologies C suite has no appreciation of engineering. CEO is a sales guy. New effort at the company to force all engineering to work the same way - one language, one set of tools, one type of database, etc totally shuts down innovation

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!
