Pros

Relaxed working environment (although will depend on the team and projects). Pay is reasonable/good for roughly 2/3rds of employees, pay is poor for the rest. Employees are adequately resourced to do their jobs.

Cons

Most senior posts have been filled by those who arrived when the company was its in ascendency, so much of the management is poor. Compensation review process is subjective and will depend on as much on the team that you work for and your relationship with your direct line manager (and his relationship with his manager) as your own concrete contributions. A lack of transparency across the board. Internal documentation is poor at best, non-existent just as often.

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!
