Pros

Great Engineering software .Bentley has advanced their optioneering capabilities substantially with the recent purchase of Blue Ridge Analytics, maker of Siteops, which moves beyond the confines of the desktop by processing engineering data in the cloud, where CPU availability is virtually unlimited. The result is the ability to lay out and analyze millions of site development options, including piping, grading, and drainage, to come up with an optimal layout in hours instead of days or weeks.

Cons

internal policies keeps changing all the time, No Sense of direction where the company is heading . Too much Dead Wood in the upper management. Upper Management who have a political or personal agenda are also likely to have big egos. While it is natural to think that people in positions of power develop big heads, effective managers act as team players, not dictators. Managers that are constantly taking the credit for the work of their employees are often feeling personally threatened. Acting with a big ego is a defense mechanism and is a poor way to manage workplace situations.
