Pros

The culture is good in general, maybe still with a certain level of favoritism but not to the point where an employee gets distressed; Flat-hierarchy; I feel comfortable in admitting "I don't know"; Good work-life-balance; Opportunity to be exposed to lots of data and operate on a managed codebase; Freedom to do research;

Cons

Flat learning curve unless you drive yourself; Not the best physical office environment;

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!
