FactSet reviews

(1) Training classes (of mostly kids out of college) promotes a very cliquey environment. If you were not on a track that went through this training, you felt left out. (2) Seems like more than half of ones time was preparing for meetings, attending meetings and scheduling follow up meetings. Meetings are such a part of the culture that there is much attention given to 'Facilitators' whose job it is to keep the meetings moving. It's great that they're there, but scary that they're needed. (3) Annual reviews use a '360 Review Process' . It's great that the opinions of one's peers are included, but it seems to be at the expense of one's accomplishments. Peers are invariably biased; too often petty differences are aired. There is SO much pressure not to rock the boat.

*If you are hired during 2009 and 2010, then most likely you have a good salary. For the rest, it's below what you expect that you may earn from other companies *During my time, if your shift is at 6am. You only have a 20 pesos allowance per day... if you don't come early, then bye bye allowance. It's nice if they could give a Hazard pay/allowance because coming in the wee hours of the morning is a bit dangerous. (In the first place, I didn't like the 6am shift, I just sacrifice my time for the team) *The Manila HR and the Manila Upper Management doesn't explain the policies very well. I feel that it is intentional The policies have a vague statement. On one perspective, it means something, on the other hand, it means another thing. When you ask them, most of the time, they would point you to another personnel to have it explain. But when you go to that person, either she or he points you to another person or gives you a WTF explanation. *I don't feel the comfort or freedom in the environment. It feels restrictive.
