FactSet Software Developer reviews

There is alot of internal politics. People who've been with the firm for long are favored, and not always the best performers. The levels of knowledge in finance, which is supposed to be the core business of the company, is very low, and the majority of people are the 9-5 types who can't go for a beer because they need to feed the cat. Very few ambitious people, but one gets the feeling that thats what is preferred, and is reflected in the salaries, which stagnate once you join.

Base salaries start great but don't continue trend in depth of time - generally speaking Factset could be rewarding its key assets, its engineers, more accordingly with market standards.
