Pros

You do get a salary. Snacks are supposed to be free, but pointless with pandemic.

Cons

Bro culture throughout the systems teams - if you are one of the non white dude from the same collage (RPI), you're just a cog to be used until you wear out. Racists and incompetent leaders perpetuating their clones. They take pleasure in making an engineer's life miserable, asking for unpaid weekend work 6-12 hours, even more, in the name of oncall. Oncall is for urgent emergency issues, but they ask for work on weekend's and don't even pay you. They fire anyone who raises a voice, for some or the other excuse. The only place where they never have team meeting, Ever! Because if we members talk to each other, they'll know they are all treated wrong.

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!
