Pros

Great pay, great benefits, friendly environment, and challenging projects. FactSet doesn't really have a "startup culture", but it still hits a perfect point just between "startup" and "corporation". You feel like you're important, but with the backing of a company that is conservative and constantly growing incrementally. Work/life balance is really great, you're not expected at all to work over 40 hours.

Cons

Debatable if this is a pro or con, but lack of startup culture. We don't have ping-pong tables or anything like that, but maybe that's a good thing. I wish it was just a little more though, for example, we only do a hackathon once a year, and participation isn't super high.

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!
