Pros

Good benefits, decent pay, relaxed work environment. Relatively young company which recruits highly from college, so it's a good environment to enter out of college. They begin with a multi week training program that allows new employees to get up to speed on different parts of FactSet.

Cons

Bad employees are rarely dealt with, this can result in lower morale for the good employees.

Pros

A person can start and polish his IT and/or managerial skills. Some knowledge would be gained.

Cons

Limited knowledge gaining opportunities, some departments are stuck in old technologies and do not want to change due to their leaders lack of interest in learning (but in gaining). People relations are neutral. Overall many manual operations for things can could have been automated long time ago.

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.
