Pros

Solution set is world class and sales support is strong. Lots of niche competitors but no one can touch the breadth of capabilities ANSYS offers.

Cons

Licensing model is somehwhat outdated and poses challenges when trying to negotiate true enterprise deals. The company has a very conservative approach from when the business was much smaller. Internal approvals and order processing/booking are extremely inefficient.

Pros

- Work with very bright people. - Develop cutting edge simulation software. - Decent pay. - Free soft drinks.

Cons

- A lot of bureaucracy to deal with in a fairly small company. - Very top-down management philosophy. New ideas are expected to flow from upper levels down, rarely from rank and file up. - IT department does not have a culture of customer satisfaction. Does not work well with development. - Corporate strategy is to grow through acquisition instead of by creating new products/ideas internally. - Not a lot of love and affection lavished on employees.

Pros

All I have learned in my field (thermal fluids, numerical methods and programming skills) is utilized as I solve the technical problems for clients day in and day out. Excellent collegiate work environment in which I can learn from my colleagues.

Cons

Promotion process is substantially slower than the industry's average.
