Pros

You will get the habit of working hard. You will be under constant pressure of layoff, which will motivate you to study and continue to give interviews. Every quarter they will have companywide meetings and they will discuss that they are not getting that much profit. If you don't believe it, these meetings are available on YouTube. just search and the CEO will tell you that they are not making much profit and they have to do the layoffs. You get free food and free transport in exchange for work-life balance.

Cons

Old technologies. Low profits, 2 yearly layoffs(2023,2024), and 3 (quarterly) silent layoffs. but if you join this company you will be more serious about your career.

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!
