Pros

no OT, free drinks, health benefits, work is not stressful, I had a good manager (this may not be true for some teams), vacation leave, sick leave, reimbursements etc...

Cons

Low Pay, Repetitive work, high turnover Job security may be a bit of an issue because I know of some people who were just given letters letting them know that they will be fired in the next month.

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!
