Business Outlook

Pros

Good work culture in terms of politeness. Flexi work hours. Good leave policy. Agile.

Cons

Management is not transparent. Business decisions are taken, and employees are reshuffled/moved out frequently. Managers tend to blame team members for failures, while taking credit for successes. Performance reviews are generally one-sided, with management reading out the final decision. Any argument or feedback goes unheard.

Pros

A great company to work for. It has very good benefits and work-life balance. The main business, CAD, is very dominating and essentially a cash cow. It has bought and continues to buy into many different industries.

Cons

It does not understand, nor does it care much, about what it bought. For example, We were in a simulation company bought by Autodesk a few years back. It not only successfully destroyed the business, but also laid off most of talented tech guys.

Cons

Top heavy. Never fires top level staff - lateral transfers instead. Can bring dogs to work. Innovation rare, mostly advances by acquisition. Information not shared down the ranks. Layoffs timed to quarterly earnings and share prices
