      Pros

      I will say that the bulk of time spent at FactSet has been really good, up until a couple of years ago. It's far from being a torture chamber, and there is a lot camaraderie among mid-level folks and between diverse teams. I am a good observer and will say that some departments have been favored over others, insofar as layoff proceedings and business needs go. Free lunches and snacks are really nice, but watch your waistline. Outstanding health plan - the very best thing about the company.

      Cons

      Too much offshore hiring, way too much. We need the jobs here in the US.

      Engineer-driven culture with a strong emphasis on work-life balance and directly rewarding performance.

      Pros

      -Strong commitment to recognizing individual excellence. If you do something worth being proud of, the higher ups will be aware of it, and you will be rewarded. -Healthy work-life balance. Working 8-hour days is the norm and your career will not suffer if you don't put in 60-hours. -Engineer-driven culture. I'd have to go all the way up to the COO before I found someone above me who isn't from an engineering background. Even the executive team and product developers respect the software development process and will allow the engineers to set and re-set their own deadlines.

      Cons

      -Some people seem a too comfortable with FactSet's work-life policies, taking the relaxed environment and flexible deadline schedule for granted.
