Pros

- The people are the life blood of the organisation

Cons

- Dassault takeover destroyed the company culture - IBM cronyism (seriously, look at all the VPs on LinkedIn) - Incompetent senior leadership who are stuck in the dark ages - VPs with preconceptions of how things should be, despite nothing being official process - Dreadful sales compensation team who can't do anything right and want to pay out as little money as possible and hike your target as high as they can, constantly overpaying then asking for the money back - Dassault products are terrible, boring and not what anyone signed up for - Change, change, change, change - HR is bad

Pros

The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

Cons

After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
