Pros

Excellent launch pad for a first job opportunity, provided you are from a finance or Software background. They are very transparent in their ratings and performance evaluation at a Research Analyst, Senior Analyst, Process Specialist, Quality Control Associate levels. They are strict about work timings, during peaks we need to work 2 hours Overtime everyday for which one is paid through a systematic policy, however the rest of the days its strictly 9 hours encouraging good work life balance.

Cons

At Management levels, there is a over-control and lacks flexibility to explore and experiment. Even a simple idea has to be sold to minimum 5 different people with varied thoughts to finally have it implemented within your team. They breed few Ops managers who are content experts, however unfortunately lack management and people skills Need stronger HR policies and practices.

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!
