Pros

Factual has a nice company culture with many of the perks you would expect from ex-Googlers: flexible vacation policy, in-office yoga, occasional catered meals, etc.

Cons

Factual does not offer very competitive salaries and there is not much opportunity to grow at the company.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed our culture and our perks; we do our best to create a company where people are excited to come to work everyday. Regarding compensation, I’m sorry to hear that you feel that way. We put a lot of time into semi-annual reviews and regular benchmarking against the market to make sure we are competitive. We have a rigorous process that can result in increases in salary, equity, title, and responsibilities based on employee performance. We’ve had plenty of cases of people moving into leadership positions or switching roles and departments. We’ve worked hard to attract and motivate talented individuals who can help us achieve our mission of making data accessible. Gil, Founder & CEO, Factual

Culture is great, Respect and Compensation are not

Pros

Great culture, interest groups and clubs for employees, monthly outings for the whole company, and great co-workers.

Cons

Everything else. Management has a tendency to talk down to you and after the honeymoon period ended, I realized that being spoken down to is routine for some employees here. Managers play favorites and have heavy biases. If you are not one of the lucky workers under their wings, you'll be given little respect and a horrible compensation package. As I mentioned in the title, the salaries posted here are NOT accurate. Compensation is severely below market rate and managers' biases factor into what someone is paid. Even as an engineer, I realized that I was basically cheap labor. The company can and will hire people as cheap labor and hold you to different standards to justify paying you less. It's a hard lesson I learned working here and is the reason I left for a better company in the LA area.
