Pros

young staff, laid back culture. good (perhaps too good) work life balance, training in london

Cons

not sure if good place to develop long term career, the smarter ones leave the company eventually so you end up with worse peers. factset says it's edge is the quality of the consultants (compared to its peers), but it's really not the case. i ended up being a client of factset after leaving, and my consultant is VERY (and i mean very, i need to chase up on every single request, even though it's very straight forward) slow in response. the software is still great despite some bugs, but quality of consultants are really not up to standard.
