Pros

Working for a small, but quickly growing company has a great feeling to it. The culture is amazing, there's every sort of person around you and everyone is very helpful, communicative, and easy to get along with outside of work. The environment is laid back but professional so; I always feel like I need to work to the best of the ability, not because I'm told to, but because everyone around me is so ridiculously intelligent and good at what they do. It's really motivating to work around so many intelligent people. Working from home is very flexible and not frowned upon at all, but you still want to make it to work everyday just to be around your peers. I really love that engineering managers are expected to continuously perform and not just sink into management roles.

Cons

Only thing that ever bothers me is the location, but that's hardly a problem in a relative sense, it's just a busy area.

Pros

FactSet provides excellent opportunities to engineers, starting from the moment they are hired, to move up both in title and in compensation. If you are willing to work, then you will be greatly satisfied with the company's willingness to make you happy. The environment is casual yet highly productive, and the management layers are nearly all previous engineers (right up to the president!) so managers understand the actual process of development, and are therefore very supportive and very efficient and insightful in their project decisions.

Cons

Because of the rapid growth of the company and the exploding demand for many of our products, nearly every group is overworked and/or understaffed. This sets a great stage for those interested in opportunities to step up and be noticed, but will severely unsettle those who are accustomed to "quiet" weeks.

Talented co-workers, challenging assignments, cities are nice to live in.

Cons

Weather can be harsh for those who didn't grow up in the area. Cost of living is fairly high.
