Pros

Easy salary just do what you're told.

Cons

You can be fired for using the words client or customer. All customers are users and will be labeled as such. Look at Bentley posts on linked in they call their customers users. This is an absolute reflection of how they treat their customers. In addition to that they are very much an old school ivory tower company. Directors aren't welcome to bring ideas forward or to strategy meetings. It's hell on earth if you are innovative and competent because nobody at Bently wants to hear your ideas. Stay in your lane and do what you're told. Do that you'll have a long and easy career there.

While we understand that individual experiences can vary, this review does not reflect the culture or practices experienced by the vast majority of our colleagues, particularly within the referenced location and department. We want to clarify that no one is - or has ever been - terminated for using terms like “client” or “customer.” We use the term “user” to reflect the diversity of professionals who engage with our software globally. We value contributions at all levels and are proud of our ongoing focus on innovation, collaboration, and customer success.
