Pros

CATIA is highly regarded, and the acquisition of Matrix One was a good move. Emloyees receive a good deal of autonomy.

Cons

DS is taking a Daussault-only approach with their customers, attempting to force then to leave other products. (Open-architecture is frowned upon, regardless of the marketing message.) Customers become unhappy in the limitations, and a number of large ones have left DS. Career and pay growth are non-existant, and there's a lot of back biting amongst management.

Pros

This is a good place to get experience if you're interested in Aerospace, IT, Automotive, CAD, Engineering space. There are opportunities to learn and advance your career if you make the right connections.

Cons

Management is very unorganized due to constant shift in priorities. Be prepared to have a new manager assigned quarterly which will impact expectations for performance evaluations. This is a French company that manages business entities around the world. The US and French management are very disconnected. If you are assigned a manager who is based overseas, you will absolutely have a difficult time and minimal work life balance.
