Pros

Awesome co-workers! Everyone is very friendly and cares about you. Free lunch (when you're in the office).

Cons

Management (all levels) does not value strong leadership skills for becoming a manager. Their promotion process is more of a popularity process, so there are a LOT of managers who should NOT be managing people. They may be wonderful at managing projects, but that's a completely different skillset than managing people and FactSet dismissing those people skills (while you're reviewed on them as a manager, they barely factor into the conversation, nor do they impact your salary). I was there for many years, and was consistently disappointed with the poor leadership. Moving up in the organization is never a clear path (again...popularity rules here), so it's very easy to get stuck in a role.

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!
