Pros

There are a lot of good reasons to work here. The company puts a lot of effort into training. The company puts a lot of effort into making nice workplaces, and it tries to get people into offices quickly. The most senior management is excellent.

Cons

The perks are sort of mediocre; while there are free snacks, drinks, and lunch four days a week, the options are somewhat crappy. Recruiting standards are dropping in some cases, people seem to be quota-focused more than quality employee focused. There isn't a strong culture of terminating people that don't perform. Middle management is often weak, lacks direction, or completely negligent of their employees.

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!
