Pros

According to my bank statements, they pay me. Additionally, I occasionally get to take a day off.

Cons

Lots and lots of bureaucratic nonsense. You are nothing more than a body to do a job. They expect loyalty, but give none. You can work your butt off and get nothing, but you enter AM instead of PM on an expense report and you get written up.

Pros

Ansys doesn't have good benefits or any culture, but they pay well and put blindfolds on everyone as long as they're getting paid

Cons

Where do I begin... 1. Absolutely no culture whatsoever. People who want to bring culture to the company get penalized. If you accomplish something very big or get a project done, you get criticized. It's very cutthroat and everyone wants to bring others down in order for themselves to shine. 2. No DE&I - all management are white male. They don't hire African Americans or Latino, and if they do they get fired. No support for females - they are looked down at from all the male leadership and co-workers. 3. No growth path for employees - the job you have, well, you're stuck with it. Ansys would rather hire externally for management roles than to grow people from within. At Ansys it's all about who you know and who you want to bring in from other organizations. 4. Marketing dept - if you're a true Marketer, you don't want to work here. Their marketing department is filled with non-marketers who are learning along the way. All the way from sr. leadership down to the base level, the department is filled with product marketers and communications people. My advice to everyone looking to work at Ansys or for those who are already here, don't let the comp blind you - it's not worth it. Your mental health, physical wellbeing are much more important. And if you are a person of color or female - don't waste your time.

Pros

Tech company with good product. Good pay & benefits.

Cons

Long hours. They do not staff appropriately and often takes many more people to do things because the infrastructure is a mess. A lot of the work requires it be done manually. The company is in denial that IT is a mess and hinders the organization. Hiring freeze in 2021. Culture and values in words but not lived. People are not treated well and there is a lot of stuff that goes on behind peoples backs.
