Pros

Smart and respectful colleagues. There are a whole host of opportunities to learn at Factset. Plus you get to work with a fantastic product that is supported by a massive engineering team. Each day is different, and while coding can be monotonous, and the job can be somewhat technical, there is so much creativity that one can employ in their approach to managing their clients.

Cons

Hours can be long. Compensation could be higher. I havent been around long enough yet to know how the compensation scale works as one advances within the company. Factset also does not have a ton of its own content.

Pros

Varies greatly between groups/roles. Excellent (and cheap) benefits, many perks (lunch bought, cell/cable modem bills reimbursed). A lot of great engineering talent, enough "geeks" to learn from, open and friendly environment.

Cons

Probably varies by group as well, but my group had silly "salary caps"; bonuses are rolled into the annual increase (i.e. it takes 2 years to fully collect on busting your butt year 1).
