Pros

- plenty of opportunities and learning - cloud focus to build marketable skills - decent internal tooling for most departments

Cons

- rapidly declining morale - declining fiscal outlook - lots of moving stuff to India - no pay raises since 2017. mediocre raises and bonuses otherwise. - most good engineers are interviewing or already out the door. You'll be here with largely B players. Some departments are still ok but it's hit or miss. - deteriorating benefits. If you have a family get ready for high copays or a huge bill

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!
