Pros

There was lots of opportunity to learn when I started but unsure if that is still the case. There were still a number of great people left there still at the time I was let go.

Cons

I started when the company was still somewhat recently acquired by Synopsys and therefore held a lot of the same cultural values. Slowly upper management started cutting off even my managers from any communication whatsoever to the point where we were finding out the most recent information (things as massive as acquisitions or major organization structure changes) from our SDR's below us well after it was put into affect. Also started taking away the ability for us to sell large portions of our portfolio, forcing us to turn away prospective client begging us for what was offered on the website, all while increasing our quotas by absurd amount. Upper management essentially cut our resources slowly over 3 years until finally cutting us all lose - they also gave the majority of the team (15 people) no option to take a severance package whatsoever and instead forced them to decide between quitting or taking a 'parallel' position in costumer support with less pay and no real sales experience.

Pros

Flexible work environment, above average salary

Cons

Company is very unstable after the merger of Ansys with Synopsys. They are going through a massive restructuring, and my entire team is being replaced by automation and overseas outsourcing.
