Learned a lot hidden racists in the system

Senior network engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

You do get a salary. Snacks are supposed to be free, but pointless with pandemic.

Cons

Bro culture throughout the systems teams - if you are one of the non white dude from the same collage (RPI), you're just a cog to be used until you wear out. Racists and incompetent leaders perpetuating their clones. They take pleasure in making an engineer's life miserable, asking for unpaid weekend work 6-12 hours, even more, in the name of oncall. Oncall is for urgent emergency issues, but they ask for work on weekend's and don't even pay you. They fire anyone who raises a voice, for some or the other excuse. The only place where they never have team meeting, Ever! Because if we members talk to each other, they'll know they are all treated wrong.

RACISM AT FACTSET

Sales
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Autonomy and flexibility on SOME teams. If you're on a team where the majority of your peers started at FactSet as consultants then they'll most likely still embody the great "FactSet culture" that people claim still exists at FactSet. FactSet USED TO hire primarily from within so they were able to maintain the great working culture for a long time. Since FactSet is becoming a bigger company, they started to recruit externally and this has led to inconsistent culture across different teams.

Cons

Go to Twitter, search for "FactSet" and scroll down to June 5, 2020 and see for yourself how in less than 24 hours FactSet claimed their employee's Twitter account was "hacked" (a software engineer... hacked?!?! REALLY?!?!). This DESPICABLE RACIST behavior and FactSet's response is UNACCEPTABLE. This incident happened ONE DAY AFTER an global company meeting was held on June 4, 2020 where the CEO seemed authentic about supporting Black Lives Matter. Clearly black lives are not valued to the CEO/FactSet.

FactSet Response
6y
In early June, one of our employee’s social media account was hijacked with the intent to spread a heinous message through the impersonation of another. After an investigation, we have confirmed that these messages are not our employee’s. FactSet condemns the content of these messages in the strongest possible terms. The content is utterly inconsistent with our inclusive culture and values.
