Pros

FactSet leadership has been fantastic through the pandemic. We have been working remotely since March 2020 without pressure to return to the office. Additional sick days were provided for covid, vaccination, or caring for family members. Promotes from within, and has been increasing the sizes of raises and bonuses Moving away from tech debt and experimenting with and embracing a lot of great new technologies

Cons

The overall technology architecture is moving in the right direction, but still relies on monolithic c++ service for most core business. Some teams have a "workaholic" culture, but top-down, the company encourages us to work at a sustainable pace and enjoy a decent work-life balance

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!
