At FactSet^®, we believe that education is a life-long process. That's why we invest in intensive training for our new hires, organize regular global conferences for our Sales and Engineering teams, and reimburse employees for relevant coursework and outside conferences. We are dedicated to developing our employees' knowledge and abilities so that we can continue to provide the best products and support.

Training

While training varies from one department to another, FactSet offers an intensive orientation program to all new hires to provide a basic understanding of our business, our products, and our clients. Our Consulting and Engineering departments have created their own customized training programs to provide new employees with the skills necessary to do their jobs most effectively.

Internal Conferences

Strong teams promote a strong company. Every other year, we bring our global Sales and Engineering teams together to connect, brainstorm, and share successes. Sure, each conference has lectures and presentations, but they're also a time for fun and socializing.

Education Assistance

We’ll help you pursue further education that’s relevant to what you do. You can take up to two courses per semester in a field relevant to your career path, and (if approved) we'll help you with tuition — provided you do your part when it comes to grades! All regular full-time employees are eligible for Education Assistance from their very first day of work.

CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Reimbursement

We want you to know our clients' business! No matter what department you join, if you are interested in taking the CFA exam, we'll provide training. FactSetters pass Level I of the exam at a rate of 69% (compared to the national average of 35%). We'll also pay for the exam for each time you succeed and give you a bonus — up to $10,000! — for each level you achieve.
