      Pros

      They seem to understand the desires that many developers have, seem to have a good grasp on changing technology and how it can improve their product. The people are extremely nice and fun, a good place to be around.

      Cons

      Norwalk is not the most glamorous place to live, but the people are really great there. They lag behind some other companies in areas such as flex hours and dress code, which isn't a big deal but is really nice to have.

      Pros

      If you just want a place to chill and pay the bills, Factset is a place for you. You will not learn anything new here.

      Cons

      They pay less than the current market salary in the bay area. If you go anywhere else (startups or established companies), you will be guaranteed to make significantly more. QA is non-existing. The bug tracking is developed inhouse, and it sucks ass. My manager's manager loves reading email.

      pretty good compared to the industry in the area

      Pros

      There are a lot of good reasons to work here. The company puts a lot of effort into training. The company puts a lot of effort into making nice workplaces, and it tries to get people into offices quickly. The most senior management is excellent.

      Cons

      The perks are sort of mediocre; while there are free snacks, drinks, and lunch four days a week, the options are somewhat crappy. Recruiting standards are dropping in some cases, people seem to be quota-focused more than quality employee focused. There isn't a strong culture of terminating people that don't perform. Middle management is often weak, lacks direction, or completely negligent of their employees.
