World-class technology, uninspired leadership... - Account Manager Ansys Employee Review

Pros

The technology and applications are very diverse and interesting, which makes the learning never-ending. And there are many very smart people to enjoy working with.

Cons

The culture is dominated by individuals protecting themselves, rather than a sense of team and working towards a common goal. This emanates from the top down, and the motivation tactic is fear rather than reward. The company is very bureaucratic and ultra conservative for a high-tech "growth" software company. Inspiration is lacking with higher levels of management.

Pros

Flexibility with WFH/Hybrid depending on your job/team Great starting PTO + decent sick/family time Challenging work Smart, hard-working co-workers People work here for decades because it's a great work culture

Cons

It's a software company. Cramming features in at the last minute, and requiring long hours from testing & doc to meet deadlines, is frustrating but not unexpected Benefits are just OK - lost all of my doctors when they stopped having one local insurance option If you're in R&D but not an engineer, you are undervalued for bonuses No upward path if you don't want to manage - eventually you stagnate and have nowhere to go Agile dev process is challenging for documentation and testing and is not always realistic with big projects Huge uncertainty after Synopsys buyout - I've had bad experiences with EDA companies undervaluing some jobs in the past (testing/doc] so not feeling any job security at the moment
