Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent work life balance and opportunities to work around the world

Cons

Management pays lip service to pursuing new technologies, but their senior architects are so out of touch that they cannot pull together a coherent plan. There are too many tightly held silos that prevent any measure of DevOps. Senior managers are never held accountable for failing projects, but they are quick to fire the people under them.

Bentley Systems Response

Thank you for your feedback. We will continue to set clear goals and hold people accountable, including senior managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, flexible work environment/hours, telecommuting available for many jobs, good job security. The company seems to care about its employees and their wellbeing.

Cons

The company headquarters is in Exton, PA, but it is also composed of many smaller acquisitions. It feels like there are more career opportunities for the Exton employees than for acquisition employees. Career paths and opportunities for advancement are not clearly defined. The focus seems to be more on software maintenance than on software innovation or new product creation.
