Pros
- Teammates are very intelligent and supportive - Good pay - Snacks & drinks provided in office
Cons
Upper level management is short-sighted and has no strategic visions. They're constantly changing directions with little foresight. They promote people who are good at managing projects, but not necessarily managing people so you have a LOT of managers who do not know how to manage or lead. They do big layoffs every few years, letting strong people go who were mismanaged by those who should not be managers, but retain those same managers who continue to fail at developing teams and leveraging the strengths of those on their team. So, in other words, they continue to create the same problems year after year. On the surface, and if you're not too involved with upper management behind the scenes, FactSet feels like a great place to be! But, behind the curtain it's an absolute mess.
