Pros

Factset has got to be one of the most giving companies to its employees. Free lunch, fruit, snacks, drinks; literally anything you could ask for. You have dual monitors to be more productive, very nice chairs and the quality of work is pretty fun.

Cons

You have to work pretty hard; long hours and work/life balance is not the easiest to pull off. But, if you like what you do, it is actually not bad.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great environment to work in. Fantastic people. Depending on the department one's in, the work can be interesting and challenging. The review system in place is fair and provides a good picture of how people perceive you and how to improve as an individual. Benefits like free lunches, flexible working hours are just icing on the cake.

Cons

Decisions made by the upper management may not be transparent enough. Sometimes engineers are left in the dark about decisions which could affect them. Engineering roles in London are limited at present. Most of the roles are not very exciting and may make it difficult to progress career wise.
