Mid-Level Mis-Management ! - Sales Representative Ansys Employee Review

Pros

In theory you have the ability to build and make your own deals and earn a lot of money, so in theory an aggressive sales person would do well.

Cons

Mid-Level Management is spineless, pathetic, and won't trust their employees to build the deals. They won't stand behind the employee proposals and instead make their own anyways. They then will propose what they want to the customer which is less aggressive to begin with and fold like a house of cards at the first sign of customer concern. Managers have no idea how to tell customers no and leverage Ansys' value or leverage the Salesperson's knowledge of the account, instead resorting right away to hemorrhaging margin and giving things for free. As a result, the formerly aggressive salesperson has all of their work diminished and then they earn a mere scrap of what they had aimed for as a result of mid-level management's ineptitude.

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
