Mission: Solve our clients’ greatest challenges with the power of collaboration
Best Places to Interview: 2017 (#11)
I have been working at FactSet full-time
Pros
FactSet offers very exciting technologies to clients, and offers invaluable experience in a client-facing role.
If you’ve just begun a career, I can imagine no better place to receive support in the financial industry.
Great training program, you will basically be getting paid for the first 6 months to learn to communicate effectively and gain industry knowledge.
Even though I’m in consulting, I recently had the chance to develop an application with some of FactSet’s APIs in the API-Athon. I felt encouraged to push myself in a positive way.
Work life balance is encouraged
Cons
There can be a stigma attached to decisions made by management, but this has improved because management have listened to feedback.
Management have less tools to retain valuable employees which can be a shame, as it has meant that competition were able to poach more successfully.
Advice to Management
No advice, they’re doing great
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at FactSet.
Interview
