Pros

Great place to start and grow for the first 2 or 3 levels. Meritocracy rules at these early stages of career.

Cons

Beyond the early career stages, growth potential exists, but it's very arbitrary. Very advanced & deep technical expertise is needed to excel in ANSYS technologies. However, managers are busy playing politics to notice and encourage real value creators. Hence being "visible" is a better approach to grow than being really good at what you do.

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
