Pros

ESI has dedicated, highly educated, and hard working management and staff. The US home office (Michigan) is in a great suburban location and the staff are supportive of each other both personally and professionally. I have been in the corporate world for more than 20 years and have never had such high quality health insurance offerings with such low cost health insurance premiums (co-pays, deductibles, etc).

Cons

ESI has undergone internal transformations the past few years which have been challenging to follow.

Pros

Interesting scientific software e.g. solid mechanics, electromagnetism, acoustics, fluid dynamics, data analytics.

Cons

Each employee is seen as an expense, not an asset. Annual salary growth is very low, if any, due to top management priority put on cost reduction. Bonuses are always paid in August the year after, and are never paid in full even when 100 % objectives are achieved. The company has too many middle level managers who are technically incompetent (many never wrote a single line of code in their life) or have no courage to make changes or do nothing all day but push useless Excel/PowerPoint documents around. The overall ratio managers/non-managers is around 1.0 and it feels like 2.0 whenever a simple decision needs to be made.
