Pros

As a fresher you get exposure to how an MNC works. No micromanagement

Cons

Growth is just a buzz word. Managers encourage their own kind even if they are not a team-player/takes days for a single reply. For highest rating to be achieved the Lead asks us to do something out of the box but for his pet it is the work that is assigned which when completed is out of the box so highest rating. Too much of politics as people have been staying for more than 10+ years.

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!
