Pros

FactSet has really good culture, there is a lot of understanding for life work balance, they have some great benefits like extra days for wellbeing or important moments, paid lunch, paid certifications programs etc. It is also very inclusive, so if that is important for you then you will find yourself very well there.

Cons

Latvia is missing some of benefits which are present in different locations e.g pension plan and there are many cost cuttings e.g one day the snacks are gone, a business travel didn’t happen since few years and it is impossible to get some budget for a team dinner or bowling. Not to mention that we didn’t get a FactSet t-shirt since some 8 years. For the 10th anniversary you get an auto-generated email and that is it. These are small things but it leaves a really bad impression. Growing opportunities seems limited. Lay offs are always handled badly.

Pros

Great work/life balance, but expect to work hard. Good team dynamics and open communications.

Cons

Expect a reorg with cuts every 3 years or so. Resource prioritization often seems more tied to messaging value than actual value. Struggling to find a place in the FinTech ecosystem as it's not a giant like LSEG nor Bloomberg, but also not as focused and agile as small competitors.
