Pros
FactSet generally values its employees. People are treated with respect, managers are flexible, and you are given great opportunities right from the start. For a recent college grad, the Consultant role teaches a lot and helps one develop important professional skills.
Cons
After a few years in that role, you either settle into a routine role where you stop being challenged, or you leave the firm. For people who like to be challenged, leave the firm after a few years. If you want to do the same thing every single day and not be challenged at all, stay.

Great place to launch a career, but long term opportunities here are questionable

Pros
On-site exposure to investment management professionals, opportunity to build network of relationships in buyside space, access to resources to learn about finance and financial markets, great training for new employees, benefits are exceptional
Cons
The promotion system is a mystery. At times it seems someone reaches into a bag and draws a name to decide who gets promoted. Some Consultants move up after a year, whereas some have been Consultants for more than three years. Seemingly no pattern to this. Also, a Consultant's skill set surpasses that of management in terms of ability to support clients very quickly. At that point if you don't have a clear vision of where your career is going, and make that known, you will be stuck in one place. You have to be extremely self-motivated to establish a long term career here.
