Finance team needs better management

Billing analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-They have a lot of holiday parties where they decorate all the floors and really get in to the day. -I appreciate the diversity -very new equipment -they order lunches and breakfasts to the office regularly which is nice and the coffee is actually very good

Cons

The finance department desperately needs better management. It’s so chaotic and very dysfunctional. They are constantly switching people to new teams and it’s not a very welcoming process. Because everyone is so busy they do not answer questions properly which makes it difficult to do your job as a new person. There is a sense of bully culture if you have not been on the team for a certain amount of time which makes things incredibly uncomfortable.

Business Outlook

Pros

They have been a leader in the field over the years.

Cons

Lost their edge on innovation and respect for people. Mid market is especially transaction based with relentless pressure on the sales teams.

Not what it used to be and unlikely to be again. Best to avoid.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life Great Parental leave policy Great commitment to diversity and inclusion

Cons

Not ideal if you're looking to gain experience in SaaS/Cloud Solutions. Adoption of industry standards is low and tech experience here is unlikely to transfer elsewhere in the industry. Company culture has declined substantially post acquisition by Dassault Systemes. The CEO listed by Glassdoor, Tarek Sherif is not correct. There are now two 'Co-CEOs,' Rama Kondru and Sastry Chilukuri. They had enormous shoes to fill and their performance has been forgettable. The upper levels of management have been operating 'Game of Thrones' style for the last 2 years or so and it has reflected in product quality and attrition.
