Pros

If you are a college grad there are a lot of employees your own age and experience level. Folks there know how to have fun and it's a fun plac eto transition out of the college life

Cons

If you are a college grad there are a lot of managers your own age and experience level. Office politics are significant. While not stereotyping everyone, there is a definite sense that folks are there for their own good and team work is typically a barter of political capital rather than an immerse, fun experience

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

FactSet is a great place to start you career because: the salary is very competitive, your colleagues are all nice, you are given much responsability and the you get to travel either for internal or external meetings. The senior management has a clear view of what the corporate strategy is. FactSet is a growing company which has been rewarding its staff very well over the past few years. You will have to work hard if you want to get advancement but I think this is only fair. You will get a lot of recognition for your work. You management will be thankful for your work and you will get salary increases based on your annual performance.

Cons

The only downside in my view is that clients can sometimes treat really bad because they need things things straight away. This often happens on the IB side. Appart from this, everything satisfies me.
