Business Outlook

Pros

- Great initial training program - Opportunities to work hard and progress through the ranks at pace. - Technical freedom for projects (little micro-management)

Cons

- Flow of information from upper management can be non-existant/very patchy - There is an apparent increase in attrition over the last year where we have lost many senior employees, without enough new recruitment going on to fill the gaps and support growth.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of freedom at Factset for motivated engineers to make this a fun and interesting place to work. There are a lot of incredibly smart and talented folks in the engineering department. The cafeteria in Norwalk is above average for a corporate park. The benefits are above average. Work / live balance is excellent.

Cons

Norwalk isn't the most interesting place in the world. Engineering salaries are below average for a financial services company.
