      Directionless management

      R&d verification engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Corworkers are pretty good in what they do. Very knowledgeable.

      Cons

      The management is like a headless chicken at least in the APDL R&D Verification side of things. There is no incentive for coworkers to help eachother since it is often penalized since you cannot meet your own goals. Focus is more on quantity rather than quality. Sycophancy can get you far though. Company is filled with people nearing retirement and as a result casual conversations are awkward.

      Declining work culture.

      R&d staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nothing with Sassine taking over as CEO. It was only good till Aart was the leading. Sassine just belives in selling and self advertising. Some others i can mention: 1. Car purchase program 2. A cafetaria is opening soon, but dont know how it would be. 3. Health insurance with self topup.

      Cons

      1. Increase in work with decrease in employees per team. Management thinks Cursor or copilot can solve all their problems. 2. No RSU, increments or perks now. Just empty promises, trickeries, layoffs and lies from management. 3. All good things like loan programs have stopped. 4. Whether company does good or bad, employee benefits will be cut down. 5. Management wants quality code but fails to enable such environment. 6. Recently layoffs.
