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.

Pros

Get to work with smart, energetic people who are also friendly, helpful and want to succeed as a team. Top notch office space, great benefits.

Cons

Becoming somewhat bureaucratic as the company grows. Takes a really long time to graduate out of a cubicle and into an office. Deal with a lot of legacy technology.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch. Comfortable work environment. Attractive office space. Free snacks and drinks. Company is healthy and growing. Computer hardware is great.

Cons

The company lacks leaders in the engineering organization. It lacks them at every level of the organization. Nobody is in charge, nobody has a plan, nobody knows what they're doing beyond their own little fiefdom.
