Pros

Been here almost 5 yrs now. One of my main reasons for staying was benefits but see below

Cons

Company is gutting their benefits package putting all the cost on employees couple that with lower then industry standard salary, a pittance for "paid lunch" and c-level turn around that is reminiscent of a carousel I'm seeing many employees jumping ship. Potential future employees beware check out what the competition is offering as well since factset is moving to mimic them you may get a better deal.

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!
