Pros

free lunch and sodas offers a lot of flexibility and the option to work from home which many people take advantage of

Cons

most positions can be type cast or pigeon holed as company and product specific skills are required the pay is lower than comparable firms in the industry but they make up for it by offering little perks like free food and flexibility to work from home

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!
