FactSet® teams work hard, but we also know how to party. Every year, we have
several events that are just for fun.
Summer Picnics and Outings
FactSet offices around the world enjoy the summer weather with a barbeque,
floaty castles for the kids, music, swimming, and other hot weather fun. Some
offices are more adventurous, like the annual Paris office Regatta or UK bowling
outing.
Old Timers vs. Young Timers Softball
Forget the MLB playoffs. October at FactSet is when newbie engineers take
on the seasoned veterans in a highly competitive softball match. The first
game is just for fun, but the second is for all the glory!
FactSet Trick
or Treat
FactSetters of the future, the children of employees, converge on our corporate
campus every Halloween in costumes and looking for candy. Those who dare enter
the haunted hallway, and groups travel desk to desk in search of treats.
Holiday
Parties
From California to Hong Kong, FactSetters get into the holiday
spirit in December. From elegant dinner and dancing in Chicago to a nighttime
visit to
a medieval German sheep farm, we celebrate our year's successes.
Global
Sales and Engineering Conferences
Amid a day or two of presentations and brainstorming, our
full sales and engineering teams find time for mountain biking, golf, casinos,
and
cocktails.
"I
have gotten to meet a lot of people through the
extracurricular activities at FactSet. Whether
it’s a regional sales manager or the head of
engineering,
these activities give everyone the opportunity
to spend time with coworkers who they don’t see
on a daily basis. "-
"JPMorgan
Corporate Chase Challenge is definitely one of my favorite events.
In the Chicago office, where I work, you get to see 75 of your colleagues
all getting together to run for a great cause, it’s really inspiring."-
