Challenging Work, Great Peers, Micromanagement Culture - Senior Manager MSC Software Employee Review

Pros

The work is challenging and stimulating; technically well-educated and competent employees make working there interesting. Salary is midline, benefits look good on the surface.

Cons

CEO oversight of even the most trivial decisions and the micro-management culture filters to lower echelons. There is no respect for the employee life-work balance. Superiors call late into the evening expecting you to respond; 60-80 hr work weeks are the norm and mandatory weekends are common. Evidence of discriminatory practices. Top positions rarely filled from within.

Pros

I like the staff culture, and employee events. Overall I felt supported by higher management.

Cons

The work atmosphere can feel chaotic during product releases. Occasionally the pressure of closing certain sales leads was unreasonable.
