Advice to Senior Management

communicate more and be more directive in their decision. To have to wait for the consensus all the time can be quite painful sometimes

Pros

Freedom, flexibility and reasonably good prospects of climbing up the ladder and particularly for building your CV to some on within the industry

Cons

A lot of rubbish managers, and FactSet very often is either unwilling or unaware to tackle the issue.
They're happy to tackle incompetence further down the foodchain but get cold feet further up it.

Advice to Senior Management

Make compensation reviews a little bit more transparent - and putting quotas on performance compensation is really not very clever.

Pros

FactSet is a great place to start you career because: the salary is very competitive, your colleagues are all nice, you are given much responsability and the you get to travel either for internal or external meetings.
The senior management has a clear view of what the corporate strategy is. FactSet is a growing company which has been rewarding its staff very well over the past few years.
You will have to work hard if you want to get advancement but I think this is only fair.
You will get a lot of recognition for your work. You management will be thankful for your work and you will get salary increases based on your annual performance.

Cons

The only downside in my view is that clients can sometimes treat really bad because they need things things straight away. This often happens on the IB side.
Appart from this, everything satisfies me.

Advice to Senior Management

The senior management is really fair and experienced so i woldn't have any advice to give him.
