Factset is a premier place to work at

Pros

Factset has got to be one of the most giving companies to its employees. Free lunch, fruit, snacks, drinks; literally anything you could ask for. You have dual monitors to be more productive, very nice chairs and the quality of work is pretty fun.

Cons

You have to work pretty hard; long hours and work/life balance is not the easiest to pull off. But, if you like what you do, it is actually not bad.

Pros

Great environment to work in. Fantastic people. Depending on the department one's in, the work can be interesting and challenging. The review system in place is fair and provides a good picture of how people perceive you and how to improve as an individual. Benefits like free lunches, flexible working hours are just icing on the cake.

Cons

Decisions made by the upper management may not be transparent enough. Sometimes engineers are left in the dark about decisions which could affect them. Engineering roles in London are limited at present. Most of the roles are not very exciting and may make it difficult to progress career wise.

Business Outlook

Pros

It has some of the advantages of a big company and a little company rolled up together. There's a lot of room for people to work on new projects and products, but you have the resources and perks of a larger company.

Cons

Lots of information seems to get lost. You need to track everything to really know what's going on throughout the company. There's very little internal documentation, and what does exist is out of date. It's clear what you're rated on as far as promotions go, but there's less transparency about other aspects.
