Pros

Ansys doesn't have good benefits or any culture, but they pay well and put blindfolds on everyone as long as they're getting paid

Cons

Where do I begin... 1. Absolutely no culture whatsoever. People who want to bring culture to the company get penalized. If you accomplish something very big or get a project done, you get criticized. It's very cutthroat and everyone wants to bring others down in order for themselves to shine. 2. No DE&I - all management are white male. They don't hire African Americans or Latino, and if they do they get fired. No support for females - they are looked down at from all the male leadership and co-workers. 3. No growth path for employees - the job you have, well, you're stuck with it. Ansys would rather hire externally for management roles than to grow people from within. At Ansys it's all about who you know and who you want to bring in from other organizations. 4. Marketing dept - if you're a true Marketer, you don't want to work here. Their marketing department is filled with non-marketers who are learning along the way. All the way from sr. leadership down to the base level, the department is filled with product marketers and communications people. My advice to everyone looking to work at Ansys or for those who are already here, don't let the comp blind you - it's not worth it. Your mental health, physical wellbeing are much more important. And if you are a person of color or female - don't waste your time.

Pros

Engaging company culture, generous health benefits, coworkers seek to help each other, encouragement to grow in areas you're interested in, concrete goal-setting on an individual level, compensation for above-average performance

Cons

No metrics for teams as a whole to measure success, as far as I know. Teams don't communicate with each other well, which leads to a lot of confusion, misinformation, misunderstandings, and general misalignment.
