Pros

- Work and life balanced, Laid back - Free snack and beverage

Cons

- Nothing to add to your resume after even one year. - Nothing to learn, because most techs that are used in this company are out of date. You have to get used to the old system. - If Green Card is critical to you, don't think about this company. After three years?? NO GUARANTEE!! - No bonus, and stock option. Satisfied with your salary if you are a software engineer not senior. - Don't imagine that you would get good review from your manager for first three years. Even if you do your best, they don't care. It will depend on your manager, but it is hard to find a good manager in this company.

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!
