Challenging projects, good product, damaging management. - Anonymous employee MSC Software Employee Review

Toxically incompetent dinosaur-era mentality management imported from the NASTRAN side, which is in total disarray. They're willing to sacrifice any successful product to save NASTRAN, which is a has-been. Company didn't have any direction for quite a while. They were only growing by acquisition, which in the end didn't work out. The company ended up being acquired by a financial group. Lay offs and outsourcing ensued. They leaked most of their talent. Not so great benefits or salary. No clear direction to grow if you're on the technical side. Nepotism is the norm at the upper management levels.
