Pros

There is a lot of freedom at Factset for motivated engineers to make this a fun and interesting place to work. There are a lot of incredibly smart and talented folks in the engineering department. The cafeteria in Norwalk is above average for a corporate park. The benefits are above average. Work / live balance is excellent.

Cons

Norwalk isn't the most interesting place in the world. Engineering salaries are below average for a financial services 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!
