Pros

Good stable company. A fairly low pressure environment to work in. There isn't pressure to do overtime or anything like that and the overall work atmosphere is pretty easy going and relaxed (at least in my department)

Cons

Getting to be quite big company (through acquisitions) which is leading to more bureaucracy. Also as a company with a strong history of fiscal responsibility and conservatism (a good thing), they sometimes make decisions that are based on cutting immediate costs ("we'll stop using this service") without realizing the long term downsides that this could have.

Pros

Very capable workforce. Very good technology.

Cons

The nature of the CAE industry is that it is maturing, and the only way for a company like ANSYS to grow is to invest heavily in new growth paths. However, in recent years the executive team remains more so fixated on cash flow and operating margin, which isn't necessarily incorrect, yet in this case it's at the expense of developing new products and new sales channels. This has left the company in the position where new growth is difficult. A plateau is basically there. ANSYS is not unique, and other significant CAE firms in the space are falling to acquisition in recent years. Only work for ANSYS in a position that you expect to survive an acquisition, as that's the likely next step for this firm, and it appears that's the senior management team's strategy from their actions if not their statements. Also recognize that if you enter this company in a junior or mid-level position there are few opportunities for advancement beyond mid-level ranks. The company is not growing significantly in terms of organic growth, which is needed for the organization to grow accordingly.
