Pros

Been here almost 5 yrs now. One of my main reasons for staying was benefits but see below

Cons

Company is gutting their benefits package putting all the cost on employees couple that with lower then industry standard salary, a pittance for "paid lunch" and c-level turn around that is reminiscent of a carousel I'm seeing many employees jumping ship. Potential future employees beware check out what the competition is offering as well since factset is moving to mimic them you may get a better deal.

Pros

Work life balance. Good benefits.

Cons

I was hired out of school after a fairly rigorous interview process. I started working under a manager who was condescending and rude to me from my first day at work. I was doing my level best to understand all I could about the code and was also trying to maintain design standards, which were virtually non existent in the existing code and about which my manager made a big deal. Talk about double standards. I was told I was asking too many questions; also that I was not a good Engineer and forced to leave within a year. It may have been just my manager who made this job such a pain. But I do not understand how a new hire can learn without asking questions. Terrible experience and a terrible manager.
