Pros

The company is still growing, which translates into generous benefits and decent salaries for the people who work there. The free food and excellent health insurance plans are particularly noteworthy. The people who work here tend to be very smart, but still down-to-earth and approachable. Additionally, they have a well-established system for internal recruiting, which allows employees to avoid getting stuck in the department that hires them.

Cons

The performance review system is too simplistic. Consequently, many employees that slightly exceed their managers' expectations end up with the same raises as employees who either meet or fall a bit short of those expectations. FactSet gives good raises to significant out-performers, but only if they work in departments that contribute significantly to the firm's bottom line. Also, at least in my department, you need to get several promotions before you're eligible for a bonus.

Pros

Work from home 3-4 days a weeks

Cons

Senior Management is Akin to a Sorority or Fraternity. They are treated exceptionally well and are shameless in their pursuits of recognition. Forced socialization - whether or not you participate in company events is part of your performance reviews. It's not enough to be a friendly, helpful coworker DEI Disgrace - millions and millions of dollars spent on making sure the wrong people are in the wrong job. But hey, they're the right ethnicity! Forced volunteering - another part of your annual review. They give you time off to volunteer at a company-sponsored event. But if you are the type who likes to just do your job, go home, and find life's satisfaction elsewhere, don't join Factset!
