Pros

I joined Ansys immediately after my undergraduate degree and it was one of my best career decisions. The company maintains a near perfect work life balance and provides great opportunities for self development. You get to work with challenging problems everyday and the work constantly tests your engineering acumen. The management is transparent and provides clear communication and guidelines for the tasks. They are supportive and approachable. You also get to express your ideas openly during team meetings and your ideas and suggestions are valued. The team members are welcoming, inclusive and supportive at all stages of the work. Overall, it is a great place to work and I would recommend it.

Cons

You work on adding features to a large project instead of developing a product from the scratch. This often requires you to understand all the existing flows and then incorporate your work which may get time consuming.

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
