Pros

Easy environment, low stress for most of the projects. Good for retirement and people who just looking to settle down.

Cons

Very bad compensation, 2-3% raise last year and 0 raise this year except juniors on already low comp, major cut in bonus across the board. Ironically, the stock price keeps going up and the c suites getting significant raises.

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!
