Pros

Everyone at FactSet is a pleasure to work with, they give you a laptop and a Blackberry, they buy you lunch every day, and you're in a strong position at the center of the financial services industry. It's a numbingly even-keel atmosphere, devoid of office drama.

Cons

When the price of gas and food triples, your rent goes up 10%, and there's still no word on that bonus/raise you were promised 10 months ago that was supposed to back up that title promotion and the new team they gave you, it's time to reevaluate your options. Also, their technology is obsolete, seized within a jungle of red tape, so if you're not careful your skill set will become obsolete with it.

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!
